Utilizing Beer Tubes for Kentucky Derby Alcohol Mixed Drinks

If you are hosting a party for the ”The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sports” (a.k.a. The Kentucky Derby) or hosting an event at your pub, you may be thinking of utilizing a beer tower to hold mixed drinks for your party. One of the keys to a good horse racing party is making sure you use drink recipes specific for the tradition of the Derby. 

One great idea is to line up a different drink for each beverage tower and allow your guests to sample various types of authentic Kentucky Derby recipes–from the Mint Julep to the popular Kentucky Mojito. These larger volume recipes work great for utilizing Beer Tubes to serve your alcohol mixed drinks. You can then go create games focused on the days events in Louisville in order to make your party or bar event one that folks will not forget.

If you are throwing a party at home, Better Homes and Gardens has a nice collection of Kentucky Derby Party Ideas for a great home bash. For those of you that own pubs, creating a fun Kentucky Derby event is not much different than creating one in your home. Simply come up with a great Derby specific menu of food, utilize our Beer Tubes a party drink dispensers, and add some exciting games and activities to create a top notch event. Encourage your crowd to dress for the occasion as well as hold contests for best dressed. Have a “pick the winner” pool, as well as other fun contests to keep your crowd engaged.

Once you have created the ultimate Kentucky Derby Party then simply spread the word via social media, local media and even look to partner with your beer/liquor distributor. These type of events can require some effort to get started, but if you work hard enough and create a fun event it can be a great annual profit day for your bar.

Cheers (and they’re off!)
