Just in time for this year’s Kentucky Derby on May 7th!

They’ll be serving mint juleps that are “ruby-encrusted.”  They cost $1,000, and the drinks will be poured into silver julep cups featuring red rubies in the shape of a horseshoe, according to NY Post.

They’re only selling 148 of them, and there will be about 20 that will be even more exclusive.  They’ll be made from gold and cost $2,500.

The proceeds will benefit Old Friends Farm, where some race horses go to retire.
