Pavel Chekov, navigator, Russian; he gets wings and gold panel from a Russian Orthodox icon, an astrolabe, Sputnik, & a hallway from Solaris

MINT JULEP….
10 to 12 fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoonful sugar
Muddle mint leaves and sugar in tall glass. Fill glass with cracked ice. Add 1 jigger Old Crow. Stir until glass frosts. Decorate with 2 sprigs of fresh mint.
[I had to look up “Old Crow.” It’s a brand of bourbon.
