The thunder of galloping hooves, the taste of mint juleps, and the sight of lavish wide-brimmed hats can mean only one thing—the Kentucky Derby.
On the first Saturday each May, the first horse race of the Triple Crown, often called the fastest two minutes in sports, is held at Churchill Downs in Louisville. This American institution has been celebrated for more than 140 years, and enthusiasts know that it is about much more than the two-minute run. In May, commemorate the classic event by hosting a tea that embraces the traditions and customs tied to the memorable day with these lovely menu options.
Love,love,love the Kentucky Derby. Looking to the race.
We love it, too. If you’re serving afternoon tea for the occasion, tag us in your pictures on social media. We’d love to admire your tablescape and offerings!
