I have always been a fan of cream cheese and jam as a combo. Recently I was making a dish of chipotle short ribs for my own blog and had a few chiles left over from the recipe I was creating. I thought "what would go well with this smoky chipotle flavor?" The first thing that popped in my head was strawberry jam….. maybe because they look alike in color? Then without a second passing, I knew I would pour the whole thing over a block of cream cheese and serve it with crackers! It's like a mini cheesecake with a touch of spice. Enjoy!

Like any cocktail, there are tricks to doing the mint julep just right - and it's not always as easy to master. Some easy tips to remember when mixing a mint julep: use a strong bourbon (90-proof or higher), don't overmuddle your mint to capture the full aromas, and, if using the standard crushed ice, hand-crush it yourself and try to drain the excess water, as to not dilute the drink.
