On May 6, the Kentucky Derby will be pouring
$1,000 mint juleps for the first 50 people to lay down the cash. The money will go toward a charity for retired
racehorses.
Mint juleps have been synonymous with the Kentucky Derby for decades. Race-goers traditionally sip the drink from silver or pewter cups. The $1000 mint julep will be served in a gold-plated cup with a silver straw. The mint is from Morocco, ice from the Arctic circle, and bourbon from one of the state's finest producers, Woodford Reserve.
Now all they
need to do is serve a $10,000 slice of Derby Pie.
