It’s a day to look dashing, wear your biggest hats and bow-ties, without the ridicule, and eat finger sandwiches with your pinkies proudly sticking out. It’s Kentucky Derby Day and we are super excited for easy appetizer recipes, drinks, and of course illegal gambling.
The bets and races are on. Which horse do you think is going to be given the rose wreath? Which jockey will be showered with champagne? Our advice is to put your money on the horse with the most ridiculous name. This year, I’m betting on Daddy Nose Best.
In order to help you prep for this momentous day, we’ve gathered some delicious Kentucky Derby party recipes so you can throw the best party. Not everyone is lucky enough to travel to Kentucky and enjoy the derby, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t dress up with friends and enjoy the event in your own home. We have every thing you need to throw a stellar mixer.
Let’s go off to the races and on to the tracks with these splendid Derby Day recipes. When it comes to easy appetizer recipes, we don’t horse around.
