The official drink of the Kentucky Derby doesn't have to be hard to make.
The former Top Chef contestant (he made it to the top five in season 9) and brand new dad – his daughter Arden Rose Lee was born on April 29 – shares his special version of the quintessential cocktail typically served at the premiere horse race.
The 139-year-old horse race is a great excuse to celebrate spring and throw a fabulous party. Serve your guests a mint julep and a Hot Brown sandwich while you cheer on the ponies. PHOTO: Four Roses' mint julep cocktail is shown here. Four Roses
The 139th running of the Kentucky Derby is today. More than 160000 spectators are expected to attend. Security is especially tight this year, due to the Boston marathon bombings. All backpacks and coolers are now banned.
