In keeping with his Southern sensibilities, menswear designer Billy Reid has teamed up with Woodford Reserve bourbon and renowned mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer to create a modern twist on the classic Mint Julep cocktail. The handcrafted cocktail will be served in a specialty signature cocktail cup designed by Reid (yours to keep), featuring engraved roses, inspired by the roses that are thrown upon the winner’s circle. Reid also developed an exclusive, limited-edition fabric that will not only accompany each cup, but also be featured in a capsule collection including limited edition neckties, bow ties, and handkerchiefs, all of which are available exclusively all Billy Reid locations, online at billyreid.com, and at the Woodford Reserve Distillery.
