And though the event is not in Kentucky this year, it only seems fitting there should be bourbon in your glass. We consulted the bartenders at the <a href=\"http:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/blog\/inside-look-lexingtons-chic-new-entertaining-space\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u><strong>Apiary<\/strong><\/u><\/a> in Lexington to see what they\u2019re planning to serve. One of their most popular cocktails is the Apiary Bourbon \u201cTea,\u201d which doesn\u2019t actually have any tea. Instead it\u2019s a concoction of bourbon, St. Germain, and an ounce of the simple syrup the Apiary\u2019s bartenders use in the venue\u2019s sweet tea. For fall, they add warming cinnamon and ginger to the mix, and it\u2019s topped off with a splash of ginger ale. If there\u2019s any friendly wagering going on at your house, you\u2019d do well to place your bets before downing too many of these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toast the Breeders&#8217;
