Saturday, May 2nd, NBC Sports will present a virtual Kentucky Derby at Home Party, which includes "The First Saturday In May: American Pharoah’s Run to the Triple Crown", a look back at American Pharoah’s 2015 Derby win en route to his historic Triple Crown, and "The Kentucky Derby: Triple Crown Showdown", a socially distant, computer-simulated edition of the Run for the Roses that pits all 13 Triple Crown winners against each other.
While you have this broadcast on the television we will host a zoom.us gathering starting at 4:30 that will include Michter's schwag giveaways, Derby hat/fascinator/outfit contest, interactive Mint Julep demonstration and recipe, drawing for a private tour for two at Old Friends with Board President Michael Blowen, some fun "wagering", and live handicapping of the the Triple Crown Showdown by syndicated Thoroughbred handicapper Elis Starr (@Ubercapper), and more!
Wine+market will have Michter's Mint Julep Kits available for pickup starting Friday, May 1 at 3 PM. The kits contain ingredients for you to follow along during our demonstration to make your own delicious, storied cocktail. Kit: 1 bottle of Michter's US-1 Bourbon, house made organic mint simple syrup, and fresh organic mint. Please let us know ASAP if you will be getting a kit, we need to ensure enough for everyone.
