Hope y'all are thirsty! We got just what you need for these warmer May days: it's the mint julep from The Great Gatsby. Chances are you've read this one before, and it's likely that you weren't of legal drinking age when you last read it. But we are here to tell you about the history of the mint julep and why Nick thinks that it's such a big deal that Fitzgerald features it in one of the novel's climactic scenes.

Let us know what you think about the mint julep in Gatsby and find the recipe on our Instagram account @literallydelishpod.
