LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) — HorseSense and the Charmant Hotel are partnering again to celebrate the 147th Kentucky Derby — despite COVID-19 — with specialty Mint Julep Cocktail Kits.
The kits, costing $50, include two specialty etched highball glasses commemorating the “Kentucky Derby At Home Watch Party” and ingredients to make two Mint Julep cocktails, the official drink of the Kentucky Derby.
“Just because we aren’t able to gather in person doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the Kentucky Derby together,” said HorseSense executive director Samantha Hall.
