It is Derby Day. They don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico, so why celebrate it here? Trust me, bourbon is far better than a tasteless Corona (even better than a Sol or Pacifica, which are decent lagers). If you are drinking decent bourbon, you can (and should) consider eliminating the ice, sugar, water, and mint above. And getting drunk and falling out of trees is for beginners. If you are an adult, drink like one. And if you go to a Derby Party today, dress sharp. Here is a beginner guide for betting on the ponies.
