Mintwood Mixology | The Mint Julep

The first Saturday in May is upon us and you know what that means, right!? Commonly known as "the most exciting two minutes in sports" or "the run for the roses", The Kentucky Derby is arguably the most watched horse race in America. Rich in good ole southern tradition, big hats, mint juleps and celebrities often come to mind even before the iconic twin spires of Churchill Downs, the blanket of roses traditionally draped over the winner or the race horses and jockeys themselves. 

No matter what it is that sticks out to you, any event that has a dedicated cocktail is one that we can get on board with. So, at the risk of being terribly cliché, we thought we'd go ahead and share our take on the famous southern beverage. Here goes!  

Do we have you humming the tune of "My Old Kentucky Home" yet or what?
