Old Forester Mint Julep

Old Forester Mint Julep is the Official Drink of the Kentucky Derby — a ready-to-drink cocktail combining Old Forester Bourbon, Louisville's Hometown Bourbon, with the refreshing taste of mint in a pre-batched format that brings generations of Derby tradition to every occasion without requiring preparation.

The mint julep is inseparable from the Kentucky Derby — approximately 120,000 are served over the two Derby days each May at Churchill Downs, almost all made with Old Forester bourbon. The tradition runs deep enough that Old Forester is literally called Louisville's Hometown Bourbon because of this association. The ready-to-drink Mint Julep bottles that tradition: Old Forester's characteristic caramel and vanilla bourbon profile with the cooling, aromatic sweetness of mint, 60 proof, no preparation required. Serve over crushed ice in a silver or pewter cup for the full Derby experience, or in any glass for a summer bourbon cocktail that requires nothing but ice.
