Move over, Mint Julep! There’s more than one signature drink for the Triple Crown!
The Preakness Stakes runs this Saturday, so we’re celebrating with its official drink— the Black-Eyed Susan! It’s named for the Maryland state flower, and it’s perfectly refreshing for the weekend ahead.
INGREDIENTS:
1 oz vodka
1 oz bourbon
1 oz peach schnapps
1 oz lemon juice
2 oz orange juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
METHOD:
Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Add ice, then shake until chilled.
Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice.
Garnish with an orange wheel and maraschino cherry. I bought a fresh batch of cherries specifically for this cocktail, and of course forgot about them when it came time to record!
