The Knockturnal sends a big thank you to all the brilliant minds that took part in creating such a polished, well-bred, celebration of the 2022 Kentucky Derby! On May 7th, at the Whatever Forever Food Hall, Old Forester partnered with the Lito Creative marketing group to promote Old Forester’s Mint Julep Bourbon by bringing the Kentucky Derby‘s iconic themes, and customs to Brooklyn, New York.
Respectfully adding a Brooklyn flair to a century of derby traditions and culture, this upscale Kentucky Derby viewing party consisted of a beautiful, warm lounge, filled with black leather, walnut oak decor, and a rockin’ DJ. Perfect for taking the chill off of a dreary day! Invitees were encouraged to wear a derby hat (an essential staple in derby fashion) along with debonair accoutrements to match. Upon arrival guests were greeted with a complimentary Mint Julep, the derby’s customary drink.
Every table top was garnished with an elegant bouquet of roses, symbolic of the Winner of the races being covered in flowers celebrating the victor Rich Strike. In addition to the sweet smelling roses. The customized artwork of Amorous Abyss was on display. Amorous Abyss is famously known for his art and the way it highlights moments of intimacy, and appreciation illustrated by using flowers, and a thoughtful quote.
With vibes as smooth as the drinks, and atmosphere. Old Forester‘s partnership with Lito’s brilliant Creative advertising team, turned into an exciting social event for a day at the races. Especially for Kentucky Derby goers who found themselves far from home.
