Party Like It's 2008!

Do you live in San Diego, CA or Sharon, VT and can't make the trip to Louisville for the 134th Running of the Kentucky Derby? Chances are you would love to be here, but it was not in the cards, right? Wrong! Your chance is NOW to host your own Derby Party as if you are a Local Lou-villian (Not sure if this is what they go by, but sounds good to me)!

In fact, it will be great... You host a party with details provided by Kentuckyderbyparty.com, watch the aerial image of the track on HDTV, show off your new lap top as you place bets on Twinspires.com, and have as many Mint Juleps as your VW can transport from the liquor store! Of course, only driving to the store before consuming these decadent traditional beverages.

The Early Times Mint Julep Recipe
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Sprigs of fresh mint
Crushed ice
Early Times Kentucky Whisky
Silver Julep Cups

Interesting fact: Each year, almost 120,000 Early Times Mint Juleps are served over the two-day period of the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. A feat that requires over 10,000 bottles of Early Times Mint Julep Ready-to-Serve Cocktail, 1,000 pounds of freshly harvested mint and 60,000 pounds of ice.

So enjoy putting your own Hat Parade and viewing party together. Create your own tradition with the tradition of the Run for the Roses!
