What Do You Serve At A Kentucky Derby Party?
A Kentucky Derby party menu typically includes traditional Southern cuisine such as hot browns, shrimp and grits, bourbon glazed ham, biscuits and gravy, and fried chicken. Other popular items include mint juleps, sweet tea, ale-8-one (a regional soda), and Kentucky bourbon. Desserts may include pecan pie, Derby pie, and bourbon balls. It is a casual, fun event, and finger foods like cheese straws, deviled eggs, and Derby-inspired snacks like caramel popcorn are also common.
