It is no surprise that derby day is one of my favorite days of the year! I love watching the Kentucky derby every year and what a better way to celebrate the festivities than with the ever popular mint julep and a cheeseboard with some bourbon infused cheese! Yes Please!! The way the mint and bourbon come together in this bevy is PERFECTION! I absolutely love how refreshing it is. Give it a try as you root for your favorite horse to cross the finish line in the lead!
