Eric’s Mint Julep Recipe
“There are two important ingredients that you must have to make a great Mint Julep—good bourbon and good mint.”
Fill a Julep cup with crushed ice
In a mixing pitcher filled with ice, add 2 oz Woodford Reserve bourbon, 1⁄2 oz simple syrup (1:1), and 3-4 fresh mint leaves (crack between your palms before dropping in)
Stir for 10-15 seconds, then strain into the Julep cup
Top with more crushed ice, mounded on top, and garnish with a large sprig of cracked mint
preferences to point you in the right direction.” Eric, who oversees the cocktail offerings and operations, adds, “I have toured many whiskey distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and the history, sights, sounds, smells and tastes have fueled my passion for bourbon. The most import- ant thing to know about bourbon is that there is no wrong way to drink it!”
While Crosswinds’ chic cocktail lounge is the focal point of the dining room, its busy kitchen is the core of the entire establishment. Seven days a week, under the direction of Theresa, the culinary team cranks
out freshly made specialty salads, hand-patted An- gus burgers, choice steaks, Lake Erie perch and wall- eye, tasty sandwiches, baked Italian dishes and much more. Pizza lovers find joy in the one and only Cameo Pizza, available in- house, for carry-out, or for delivery. When asked to cite the most popular items on Crosswinds’ menu, The- resa replies, “Our Veal Parmesan has quickly become a dish for which we’re known. It’s definite- ly filling with two breaded veal cutlets baked under marinara sauce and moz- zarella with a side of spa- ghetti and marinara sauce,
a house salad, and a slice of garlic Texas toast.” Adds Eric, “Hands down, our Lake Erie Perch Platter is our number one selling item, especially during the summer months. We use panko breadcrumbs with a signature seasoning to coat the fish and give our perch a bit of a crunch when fried golden brown.”
For those that have the kiddos in tow, Crosswinds also features a children’s menu, with kid-friendly meals, sides, and a special ice cream sundae with all of the trimmings. Full-ser-
vice outdoor tables and an open-air pavilion with seat- ing for pizza carry-out offer families a fun and casual dining option. Just a few steps away are go-karts and mini-golf, both kid-tested and adult-approved ways to burn off some energy before heading to the next destination.
Crosswinds is conve- niently located at 280 SE Catawba Road, Port Clin- ton and adjacent to Erie-Ot- tawa International Airport. It’s the perfect place to fuel up for, or wind down from, a day at the lake!
Cheers!

1/2 red onion, diced 1 large or two small limes,
1/2 bunch of cilantro, juiced
