(This must be a good recipe for this famous Virginia drink, for history records the fact that 3,000 were dispensed at this delightful old club the day of the unveiling of the Lee Monument some years ago.)

One large bunch of mint fresh from its bed, ½ tumbler of crushed ice, 1 tablespoon of sugar. Crush part of your mint with ice and sugar, then add your whiskey (and don’t look while the other fellow adds his), then place rest of mint in glass, with more crushed ice, and as an old Virginian said, “Drink, and be glad you are living.”
