Ready for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby? All you need are a few friends, two minutes of TV time for the actual race (start time is 6:50 p.m.) and a great mint julep recipe. There are plenty of the classic variety to go around, so we are offering a twist on the traditional mint julep for those who want something a little different for this year’s running of the roses. Here are three great recipes compliments of Town & Country Magazine.

Carthusian Julep

Ingredients

1 oz Maker’s Mark Bourbon
6 mint leaves
.5 oz green Chartreuse
Pebble ice
Mint sprigs
Thyme

Instructions

Muddle the mint leaves gently with Chartreuse in the bottom of a cup. Then, add the bourbon and fill halfway with pebble ice. Stir these ingredients briefly and then add a metal straw and pack the glass full of pebble ice. To finish, garnish with lots of mint and thyme.
