Learn to make this classic cocktail for the Kentucky Derby
Big hats, fast horses, and mint juleps—The Kentucky Derby is here.
In the newest episode of Sip & Stay—our video series that features longtime Columbus bartender and Brown-Forman brand ambassador “Whiskey” Pete Wagner—you’ll learn how to make a quintessential Derby cocktail at Spruce St. Sporting. A modern twist on the classic sports bar, Spruce St. blends big-screen sports viewing, elevated drink & food, and a lively atmosphere, all under one roof.
Joined by a Spruce bartender, “Whiskey” Pete serves up a step by step guide to creating the most essential Kentucky Derby cocktail—the mint julep. The drink features simple syrup, muddled mint, 2 (or 3) ounces of bourbon, plenty of ice, and a mint garnish. Cold, refreshing, and exactly what you want on race day.
