May Drink of the Month

All the month of May, Monmouth will feature the most popular drinks served at the Kentucky Derby which will be held in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday afternoon, May 3rd. The Derby is celebrated all over the country and especially in the South.


The DERBY COOLER features bourbon, rum, orange juice and grenadine. Come to the Monmouth Quitman Lounge any evening during May and have a refreshing cocktail- and as always, Roosevelt's famous Mint Julep will be served in the frosted silver julep glass. Did you know that Roosevelt has served as Monmouth's bartender and host for over twenty years? Roosevelt received an award from the Governor of Kentucky making him a true "Kentucky Colonel" and the award was presented to him for his secret mix of the Mint Julep.


On Kentucky Derby Day (5-3-08), Monmouth Plantation will have a Kentucky Derby party, with specialty drinks and televisions to view the event. Join our guests at Monmouth for this special event on the patio and in the Quitman Lounge beginning at 2:00 pm.
