The iconic mint julep glass is almost as synonymous with the Kentucky Derby as the race itself. Traditionally made of polished silver or silver plate, the glass is designed with a slightly flared rim and a sturdy base that helps keep the cocktail icy cold during the warm spring event at Churchill Downs. Since the 1930s, mint juleps have been the official drink of the Derby, and collectible commemorative glasses featuring the year’s artwork, winning horses, or Derby branding have become prized souvenirs for racing fans. Modern versions are also produced in glass, pewter, and stainless steel, blending Southern tradition with contemporary design while preserving the elegance and ritual associated with Derby Day celebrations.
