Mint Julep
The Mint Julep has been the signature cocktail of the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs for more than a century. But there’s no need to enjoy it only one day a year. Serve in a traditional Julep cup or a highball glass over crushed ice and garnished with mint. Cool as Kentucky; fresh as Spring. Fun fact: on Derby weekend, over 120,000 are served at Churchill Downs.
