SPRING: MAGNOLIA BLOSSOMS Sipper Glass, 16oz

These pink stylized magnolia blossoms fill the mind with thoughts of lazily swinging in a hammock in the shade of an old magnolia tree on a soft spring day while sipping delicious mint juleps from our 16 oz sipper glass. This stunning specimen of magnolia, "Caerhays Belle," produces a profusion of extra-large (12”), bright pink, goblet shaped blooms in mid to late spring.

A historical note about mint juleps: The julep’s origins date to Persia, where it was documented in the Sasanian Empire (224–651 AD) as a rosewater bath called gulab for imperial princesses. This concoction became associated with health elixirs to either drink straight or use in cooking. Prescribed for shortness of breath and stomach issues since the 9th century, the julep reached as far as India through trade. Refined to an oil, it was sought widely throughout the Egyptian, Roman and Byzantine empires for medicine and skincare. The Mediterranean’s indigenous and ample mint supplies replaced rose petals, and the name gulab morphed to julab and julapium. Michelangelo reportedly had a daily julab routine. The mint julep’s purported medicinal value reached America in the 18th century. Full of warm, high proof rum or brandy, honey and muddled mint, it was both preventative medicine and a kickstart to the day. To cut the bite, drinkers with access to an icehouse chilled their juleps and threw in peaches, pineapples and berries. Yummy!  (Source: Rebecca Toy, Wine Enthusiast)
