History

The Mint Julep is the cool, refreshing heart of Southern hospitality, long associated with springtime and the thrill of the Kentucky Derby. Its ritual of muddling and chilling became a beloved pastime for generations of race-goers and porch sitters alike. More than a drink, it’s a symbol of both leisure and sporting excitement. Sipping a Mint Julep lets you feel the festive spirit and conviviality of Derby Day, wherever you are.
