To add some sweets to your spread, serve Holmes Sweet Home’s Banana Nut Bread Brittle, handcrafted with whole ingredients in Greenville, South Carolina, by lifelong baker Sam Holmes. This treat’s gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
Whether you keep it traditional with mint juleps or have another cocktail in mind, add a drop or two of these Woodford Reserve bitters for an easy dose of Kentucky flavor. The dram set includes Chocolate, Spiced Cherry, Orange, Aromatic, and Sorghum Bitters.
