particularly when condensation forms
on the outside.
It wasn't until 1939, however, that
the Julep became the official signature
drink of the event. Once racetrack managers
realized that people were stealing
the ornate Julep glasses, they started
selling them as souvenirs.
Today, at the Winner's Party after
the race, the Kentucky governor toasts
the winner by raising a sterling silver
Julep cup.
You can make those two minutes
last a little longer by sipping a Mint
Julep. ABC carries two pre-mixed Mint
Julep products, one by Maker's Mark
and the other by Old Forester. Or you
can make your own. See recipe at left.
