Old Forester is raising the bar this Kentucky Derby season with the introduction of “The Perfecta,” a refreshing new cocktail designed to complement the traditional Mint Julep experience. The new offering will be served in a limited-edition vintage-style branded cup, available exclusively at Old Forester’s signature bars throughout Derby week.
“While the Mint Julep has rightfully remained a Derby mainstay for generations, we wanted to create something that speaks to today’s cocktail enthusiast,” said Master Taster Melissa Rift. “The Perfecta delivers a perfectly balanced, refreshing option that brings new excitement to Churchill Downs and to bars and restaurants nationwide.”
The Perfecta features a bright, flavor profile: 1.5 oz of Old Forester 86 Proof, 1 oz pineapple juice, and 3 oz ginger beer, expertly balanced and served over ice in the branded cup with a lime and mint garnish.
The Perfecta will be available at select Old Forester signature bars throughout Kentucky Derby week.
