With luscious hints of bourbon, sugar, butter and mint, you can travel your tastebuds to the Kentucky Derby with this super simple and delicious dessert that will have everybody asking for the recipe!
Todd Pletcher caught up with ShopToEarth Founder Pat Welsh on Friday, May 14, 2010. Trainer Todd Pletcher watched Derby winner Super Saver on Friday morning as the Preakness favorite toured Pimlico. Pletcher prefers letting his horses have more time between races, but the Triple Crown series is different. 36th Kentucky Derby finished sweeter than a mint julep for ShopToEarths Tracy Pletcher, wife of Todd Pletcher, trainer of the aptly named derby-winning colt Super Saver. ShopToEarth congratulates Tracy and Todd on their Kentucky Derby victory! Winning the Kentucky Derby felt very surreal. Im not sure it has sunk in yet, Tracy said. We are so happy for the entire Pletcher Team that works so hard all year long with the horses. The Pletchers and Super Saver will return to the track at the Preakness Stakes on May 15, when the second leg of the Triple Crown is run at Pimlico in Baltimore, MD. ShopToEarth will be watching as Super Saver looks to become the first Triple Crown winner since Secretariat www.shoptoearthnews.com

If you havent heard yet, the Mint Julep and the Kentucky Derby are inextricably linked. Well, since 1875, anyway. Thats when their marriage at Churchill Downs began, and since that year, the Mint Juleps popularity (and one can go so far as to say celebrity) has no doubt benefited from its close association with the fastest two minutes in sports. Our close association with the Mint Julep began seven years ago when the two of us would sip them on a warm spring night on the terrace overlooking Brooklyn and Manhattan. One of our first terrace cocktail parties consisted of four friends and a dozen Mint Juleps among us. Needless to say the party ended when everyones speech was compromised. Lesson learned: one is enough. Although much of our view of Brooklyn has been obscured by overdevelopment (some of our view of Manhattan is threatened as well), our love of the Mint Julep will never fade. Its one of our top five cocktails, and its slightly sweet, minty bourbon zing will keep us sipping until our last gallop around the track.
