The Kentucky Derby is a Southern Sporting Event Like no other. Whether you're watching the race by yourself or are hosting a party, a little bourbon and Derby Pie make the experience more memorable. Here are some favorites you can bet on!
Blackberry Mint Julep- the scent and the flavor of the mint combined with the sweet tartness of fresh blackberries is a winning combination. Along with some bourbon of course. The blackberries turn the mint julep a gorgeous shade of purple.
A blend of two favorite southern drinks, this Sweet Tea Mint Julep is perfect for Derby Day or a leisurely afternoon spent in a rocking chair on the front porch.
An easy Mint Julep Fruit Salad with lots of mint and bourbon flavor is perfect for a Derby Party. Fresh melon is soaked in a mint-infused simple syrup with bourbon.
Pimento Cheese- this classic "caviar of the South" is a welcome addition at any southern party.
These bite-sized Mini Hot Brown Tarts are the perfect holiday appetizer and they definitely deserve a spot on the table for a Kentucky Derby Party.
Hot Brown Fondue makes a great Derby appetizer. Three types of cheese go into this fondue: cheddar, swiss, and Parmesan. Mixed into the cheese is lots of finely chopped turkey (you could use chicken in a pinch), bacon, and green onion plus some chopped tomatoes on top.
Hot Brown Casserole is full of turkey, bacon, cheese, and tomatoes plus a creamy Parmesan sauce. Perfect for the Kentucky Derby or anytime you're craving the flavors of a Hot Brown Sandwich.
Kentucky Chocolate Walnut Pie- This gooey homemade pie is full of chocolate chips and walnuts and only takes a few minutes of prep time. Serve with bourbon whipped cream for a Derby Day treat.
The mint and bourbon flavor of these Mint Julep Cupcakes make them perfect for the Kentucky Derby.
Kentucky Butter Cake is an insanely moist pound cake with a sweet, buttery sauce that soaks through the cake. This cake tastes even better the next day!
Bourbon Balls are a super easy candy to make and only a handful of ingredients are needed. An interior of bourbon-soaked pecans, butter, and powdered sugar is covered in a layer of semi-sweet chocolate.
Bourbon Graham Cracker Candy is so buttery and crunchy with just the right amount of bourbon flavor.
Kentucky Derby Bars have a graham cracker crust and a gooey, sweet pecan, walnut, and chocolate chip filling. Wonderfully sweet and perfect for a Kentucky Derby party.
