The Kentucky Derby

Mint Julep

The Mint Julep is one of the great all-time cocktails. Stiff and thirst-quenching, there’s nothing quite like it on a hot day. Use the smallest ice cubes you can. The extra dilution chills the drink way down and takes the edge off the bourbon.

 

 

 

The Preakness

 

Black Eyed Susan

Preakness Stakes’ official drink is the Black Eyed Susan. Named after the Maryland state flower and was first created in 1973.

 

 The Belmont Stakes

 

Belmont Jewel. The Belmont Stakes’ official drink has changed three times. Until 1997, the White Carnation was the official drink. It was replaced by the Belmont Breeze in 1998, which was overtaken by the Belmont Jewel.
