I tried ordering mint julep with the please and it didn't work. What are the words for mint julep?

 

[caribbound]

Capitol letters as it's a name, and enter right after Gator says his line after approaching you. Please isn't needed (I've had more luck without than with, maybe those times were typing after he talked so it took too long).

I tried Mint Julep so many ways and have yet to see him give me that. Monte Cristo! always works, though. Also, if you sit at the small side tables, he always puts a bowl of soup down on the table, but if you sit at the large table in the middle, he covers the table with sandwiches.

 

[Uchiha]

Yup, the title says it all. Saying "Mint Julep" will now get you.. the exact same food saying "Monte Cristo" did.
Sadly, saying "Monte Cristo" doesn't seem to work anymore for me.
Anyway, I just wanted to post the update.

Congrats on finding the "other" magic order. Mint Julep and Monte Cristo have been the two "orders" that deliver food.

 

[Uchiha]

But saying "Mint Julep" didn't work before. Only saying "Monte Cristo" did. Now, as far as I can see, only saying "Mint Julep" works.

I am so surprised to see VMK serving Mint Juleps when we have members here reporting players for serving bear or asking to be served bear!

Do not get me wrong I have nothing against it EXCEPT it is the WRONG DRINK
to be served in "New Orleans"Square, Mint Juleps are a Kentucky Libation while a Sazerac is a Traditional New Orleans one.

Sazerac
The Sazerac cocktail could arguably be one of the world's oldest cocktails. While various aspects and timings of its history are often disputed, certain points are reasonably well known. It was in the 1830's that Antoine Peychaud opened up an apothecary shop in the French Quarter of New Orleans. One of the products that he sold here was his own special brand of bitters, still sold today as "Peychaud's Bitters". In those days, bitters were considered as a device to invigorate good digestion and good health. Thus it was purely for medicinal purposes that Mr. Peychaud would combine his bitters with Brandy to cure the ailments of his friends and customers

1/2 tsp Pernod (or other Absinthe substitute)
1/2 tsp Simple Syrup
1 dash Peychaud bitters
2 ounces rye whiskey

MINT JULEP


2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water (branch water is ideal)
Fresh Mint
Crushed Ice
Kentucky Bourbon (2 ounces per serving)

Make a simple mint syrup* by boiling sugar and water together for 5 minutes; cool. Place in a covered container with 6 or 8 bruised mint sprigs. Refrigerate overnight.
Make a julep by filling a julep cup* or glass with crushed ice, then adding 1 tablespoon of mint syrup and 2 ounces of bourbon. Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost outside of cup or glass. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig..

*This makes enough syrup for about 44 juleps.

Extra Tips:

Always use a premium Kentucky bourbon
Use crushed or shaved ice and pack in cup.
To bruise mint, place in a cup and gently pass the back of a spoon between cup and the leaves a time or two. You want the mint to release some of the fragrant oils.
Add a straw cut to protrude just above the rim of the cup and serve. You should be able to get a faint whiff of the mint sprig when you're sipping.
Keep the covered syrup in the refrigerator (after removing the mint leaves) if you don't plan on drinking all the servings.. Enjoy later....

Well the newsletter did say to pay attention to Jake and Haley. Haley now says how good a Mint Julep would go with the Monte Cristo.

while that may be true a "Mint Julep" is a traditional southern alcohol drink not a non alcohol drink. And it is still the wrong drink to be served in New Orleans Square....someone did not do their homework Disney

 

[Diznygrl]

I don't think it's a matter of not doing their homework. I'm sure they're very aware of the true alcoholic version of the drink. But the minty lemonade version is a true staple of New Orleans Square and I for one am tickled to death that they decided to add this special touch.

 

[Blumonkeyboy]

Well, when Life ( vmk ) gives you gators (guess where im going with this..) make Gatorade.

I did not say I was against it, I like the touch, I also was not trying to turn this into an argument. I am just surprised that Disney picked a well known Southern Alcohol Libation to devote a whole store to at DLR even going so far as to call it a "Bar" for such a well celebrated Southern Alcoholic Drink. We could banter back and forth about it all day...I was just very surprised by the addition of it to VMK and the fact that there is a store front selling "non"alcohol versions of this very alcoholic drink is all.

The exact origin of the mint julep is unknown, but one legend is that a nineteenth century Kentucky boatman on the Mississippi River went ashore in search of spring water to mix with his bourbon. On a whim, he is said to have added some mint growing by the spring. Nineteenth-century juleps frequently contained wine or brandy, but Southerners turned to bourbon whiskey, which is still the ingredient of choice in Kentucky.

 

[Diznygrl]

I apologize Mal, I did not mean to argue. It's just that I worry about VMK removing the addition if there are enough raised eyebrows over it.

 

[hdmonkeybug]

Doesn't surprise me at all! We already have GROG! and little bottles that look like beer! Why wouldn't we add Mint Julep to the miz?

 

[Califgirl]

I think the point is, that in New Orleans Square in Disneyland, they really do sell and serve Mint Juleps. So VMK is mirroring what is already taking place in Disneyland.
The Mint Juleps are non-alcoholic in Disneyland, just as Disney Dreams posted. I've had one, and it was way too sweet for me.

Since this is an experience that you can have in Disneyland, I would think it is appropriate for VMK.

 

[koolashley]

hmm...i've been at disneyland thousands of times since i was three, and i've never tried their mint julep or monte cristo. just french onion soup and their famous clam chowder. i also don't remember ever seeing a mint julep on their menu, Califgirl (not trying to start an argument ).
