1966 Corvette Convertible
The name behind this car is “Mint Julep”, the famous Kentucky Derby drink. It’s a classic cocktail traditionally made with bourbon, mint, simple syrup, and crushed ice. The interior represents the mint and the icy exterior represents the coldness of the cocktail.
Did you know that this drink was the first to feature ice as a key component, coinciding with the rise of ice houses?
