DRINK THIS IMMEDIATELY: Frozen Mint Juleps at Khyber Pass Pub

Though whiskey-sipping purists might cry foul at the apparent Buffett-ization of the American South's most cherished cocktail, I say lighten the hell up — it's getting sticky outside, and this new staple at Khyber Pass Pub (56 S. Second St.) is here to help. Masterminded by Khyber GM Diana Coble, the process behind these icy wonders is simple — bourbon, mint-infused simple syrup, water and a little lime juice commingle in the silver slushy machine behind the bar, which gently churns out the classic version, plus flavors like white peach, raspberry, blackberry and strawberry (they'll rotate as more fruit comes into season). There are no frosted julep tins here, but you won't miss them much.

Drink this immediately!

    Diana, you mad genius! Inside that pretty lady lurks the heart of a diabolical cocktail wizard. Of sorts.
