When it comes to creating your Kentucky Derby menu, you can plan an entire day around it. Why? Because when the entire race lasts less than five minutes, so you should be allowed to focus on things you care about, like booze, and fun hats. It’s truly the perfect sporting event for anyone who likes the idea of sports, but doesn’t want to watch or participate in them. When you’re not focusing on “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” you’ll probably find yourself deeply invested in the only thing more quintessential to the Kentucky Derby than horses—bourbon. And Mint Julep cocktails made with bourbon.
