Derby Day in Kentucky

Saturday May 7, 2011 is Derby Day in Kentucky.  The Kentucky Derby is watched all over the world; but, it is most special in Kentucky.  Traditionally everyone dresses up and ladies wear awesome hats.  The Mint Julep is the drink of choice.  Mint Juleps are at their very best served in a silver or pewter cup. The Kentucky Mint Julep Cup.  It is the coldest drink you will ever have.  The magic of the metal cup really makes the drink cold.  Mint Julep Cups from Humes Jewelers have become a tradition in Hopkinsville and western Kentucky.  Whether you make it to Louisville or have a Derby Party at your home. Have fun.
