I graduate from college this Saturday...so I'm sure I'll be drinking something. We have a huge bottle of mojito mix on the table, so that could be very tempting...
Or maybe I'll just take a flask of tequila to graduation and tell them that I'm celebrating Cinco de Mayo. It could work!

I'm not that refined. I'm gonna try to make Kentucky Derby pie though, that stuff is amazing! You could just do shots of tequila and peppermint schnapps alternately and be really trashy.
Here's to a safe and well-run Derby. Not sure I could go through another Barbaro situation (that would be the horselover in me though).

I have our Pansy Brunch in the morning. I think most of the alumnae in my chapter frown upon the drink.
What time is the derby?

Both!
I'm drinking both, and having fajitas and Derby Pie, too. I throw a big party every year to celebrate my ultra-southerness-- south of the Mason-Dixon and South of the Border-- heritages. You should see my derby hat-- quite a festive little sombrero.

i would LOVE to see ladies at the Derby wearing sombreros. i have been giggling all day at work thinking about this.
I have been tempted to call my mom but she just wouldn't get it. She would be too busy being appalled and holding her gloved hand to her forehead and clutching her pearls. LOL.

Living about 20 minutes from Churchill Downs I have been going to Derby parties since I was about 2 years old and I have never had a Mint Julep I liked.
I did find some recipies though if anyone else wants to try them:
THE MINT JULEP (three ways to make them)
Let’s start with, the “classic” mint Julep
Begin by putting 3 o 4 mint sprigs in the bottom of a tall glass or stirrup cup. To that add a little water (I use a splash of Woodford) and 2 teaspoons of superfine sugar. We now want to muddle this to form a fine paste. Then, pack the glass with crushed ice and fill with Woodford Reserve. Be sure to put in a long straw and garnish with a mint sprig covered with powdered sugar. This is now ready for sipping and enjoying.
For a little easier preparation, here is, The Mintini idea
Start by pouring about ½ oz of White Crème de Menthe in the bottom of your glass. Top with crushed ice and fill with Woodford Reserve and add your straw and mint garnish
The easiest of all: Use Early Times pre-mixed Mint Julep.
Fill glass with ice and pour (Early Times is the official Mint Julep of Churchill downs).
Personally I am a fan of the new Oaks Day drink, the Lily these days.
A key ingredient of the “Oaks Lily”™ is Finlandia Vodka, the official vodka of Churchill Downs. The new cocktail’s ingredients include:
1 oz. Finlandia Vodka
1 oz. Sweet and Sour Mix
3 oz. Cranberry Juice
Splash of Triple Sec
When the ingredients are mixed, place the “Oaks Lily”™ in a tall glass with crushed ice, add a straw and garnish with an orange wedge and cherry.
