Old Forester Introduces 'The Perfecta' for Derby Season

As the Kentucky Derby approaches, Old Forester is set to elevate the experience with the launch of 'The Perfecta', a new cocktail crafted specifically for this prestigious event. This innovative drink not only complements the classic Mint Julep but also caters to modern cocktail enthusiasts.

A Refreshing Twist on Tradition

The Perfecta cocktail features a vibrant combination of flavors, blending 1.5 oz of Old Forester 86 Proof bourbon, 1 oz of pineapple juice, and 3 oz of ginger beer. This balance results in a refreshing drink that is perfect for sipping on a warm Derby day. Served over ice in an exclusive vintage-style branded cup, The Perfecta is garnished with a lime and mint, enhancing its visual appeal and flavor profile.

Master Taster Melissa Rift stated, "While the Mint Julep has been a Derby staple for generations, we wanted to create something that resonates with today's cocktail lovers. The Perfecta brings a new level of excitement to Churchill Downs and to bars and restaurants across the country."

Limited Edition Cup

The cocktail will be available exclusively at Old Forester's signature bars during Derby week, served in a limited-edition vintage-style cup. This unique branding adds a collectible aspect to the experience, making it a must-have for Derby attendees and fans alike.

Rich Heritage

Old Forester, founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality bourbon. The brand’s commitment to excellence is encapsulated in their motto, promising nothing better in the market. As the only bourbon to be produced before, during, and after Prohibition, Old Forester's rich history continues to influence its innovative offerings.

With 'The Perfecta', Old Forester is not just delivering a drink; it's crafting a memorable experience that honors the tradition of the Kentucky Derby while embracing contemporary tastes. So whether you're at Churchill Downs or your local bar, this cocktail invites you to celebrate the Derby in style.
