The Kentucky Derby is this weekend! “The most exciting 2 minutes in sports”!! I had the opportunity to attend the Kentucky Derby in 2019, and it was a cool experience. Arguably one of the most iconic venues in all of sports, the twin spires set it apart from anywhere else. When you think of the Kentucky Derby, you probably think “fancy hats and mint juleps”. Well, Bottom Shelf Jim, All Day J, and I review four Derby Cocktails for you to consider this coming Saturday.
All these cocktails were made with Woodford Reserve, because… Duh. It’s the official bourbon of the Derby. Obviously you can choose something higher proof, more flavor, or higher rye content to get that extra punch of flavor. But all these cocktails were easy to make and they didn’t require a bunch of weird ingredients or other oddball liqueurs for mixers. And we made these to spec, so obviously you can tweak the recipe however you see fit.
1. The Mint Julep - Yes, you have to offer this drink at your Derby party. And not because it’s the BEST cocktail out there, but because the Mint Julep IS THE Kentucky Derby!
2. The Kentucky Mule - Yes, you have to have this cocktail at your Derby party. Because it’s delicious!
3. The Woodford Spire - This one is extremely juice forward. You cannot taste the bourbon, which for some, might be okay. If you like a whiskey-forward cocktail, either tweak the recipe (significantly) or pass.
4. The Chocolate Julep - Very unique cocktail. Not one that you’ll want multiples of, but a decent dessert/after-the-race cocktail. J would disagree, but he’s wrong 😆
Let us know what you think of these! Are you hosting a Derby party this year? Will you have any of these cocktails? Or something else? What should have we included?
