Derby Weekend

Celebrate Derby Weekend at Yardbird with a Southern classic. On May 2nd and May 3rd, we’ll be featuring our signature Mint Julep—a refreshing blend of bourbon, fresh mint, and a touch of sweetness, served ice-cold in true Derby fashion.

The Mint Julep is a timeless Southern cocktail known for its bright, refreshing flavor and smooth finish. Made with bourbon, fresh muddled mint, a hint of sugar, and plenty of crushed ice, it delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and cooling herbal notes. Traditionally served ice-cold, it’s a crisp, invigorating drink that’s as synonymous with warm weather as it is with Derby Day celebrations.

Whether you're stopping in to watch the race or just looking for the perfect spring cocktail, our Mint Julep is the ideal way to toast the occasion.
