We’re coming down the stretch to The Kentucky Derby with some great takes on the classic Mint Julep.
On May 2nd and 3rd fans will pack Churchill Downs to celebrate “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” – the Kentucky Derby. The famed event is right around the corner, and there is no better way to celebrate than with a traditional Julep cocktail. Over 120,000 Juleps are served at the track during the two-day period, though none as fresh and modern as two options from Basil Hayden’s and Knob Creek Bourbon.
Combining the spicy, trademark finish of Basil Hayden’s Bourbon, with fresh blueberries, tart lime juice and refreshing mint, Basil Hayden’s® Jockey’s Julep puts a crisp twist on tradition, and brings modern flavor to a classic cocktail. The Knob Creek Storyville Julep is also a fresh twist on the modern libation, this time with sweet honey syrup and pineapple juice.
