On the cover of their April-May issue, Garden & Gun featured a curious purple julep.

Readers were intrigued, and the demand managed to get the restaurant to cough up the recipe for this grape concoction.

Get it and the story over here.

I have yet to give it a try, but I'll be keeping it in the back of my head as the weather warms.
