Today is the official kick-off for Derby week. I visited Wagner's Pharmacy Inc (a must-visit for race fans) across the street from Churchill Downs, and I could feel the excitement of the Kentucky Derby in the air. To celebrate, here is the official cocktail recipe for Friday’s Kentucky Oaks race. Cheers!

The countdown to Kentucky Oaks is on! 🌸

The Stave is one of our favorite places to grab a bite to eat in Frankfort. They have every bourbon under the sun, it seems, and the most delicious food.
