| $1000 Mint Julep @ Kentucky Derby |
The Mint Julep dates way back to the 18th Century. In those days Julep (originating a Persian word) described any drink that was sweet and associated as a ‘vehicle for medicine’ – hmmm – must have another for my health!
These days it’s best known as the official drink of the Kentucky Derby where they apparently serve 120,000 while the races are on!!
We don’t think we’ll be serving quite that many this week!
We also won’t be featuring the $1000 Mint Julep that they’ve been serving at the Derby since 2006 - this one’s served in gold-plated cups with silver straws with mint imported from Ireland, spring water ice cubes from the Bavarian Alps and sugar from Australia!
