I’ve always adored The Derby.  It may be because it falls on my birthday.  Or it may be because it’s a day that celebrates extra large hats, pastels, and dainty lace gloves.  Or it may be because I get to sip a mint julep while celebrating my birthday and wearing an extra large hat and dainty lace gloves.  Yep, thats it.  And this year for The Derby, I bet big and created three different ways to enjoy this festive libation.  The classic julep, a strawberry mint julep and a tangerine julep complete with fruit filled ice molds, (simply buy THESE and freeze the juice with a tad bit of puree the night before).  So Loves grab your hat, pick your horse and happy Derby!   truly, MKR
