$1000 Mint Julep at the Kentucky Derby

A few months back we featured Serendipity's $1000 ice cream sundae, now comes news that Woodford Reserve will be serving up a $1000 Mint Julep at this year's Kentucky Derby.  Served in a gold-plated cup with a silver straw, this mint julep will also have mint from Morroco, ice from the Artic Circle, and sugar from the South Pacific along with an oak box to take home your cup. 

As decadent as this might seem, its for a good cause - only 50 drinks will be served with the proceeds going towards the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation.
