The Preakness – official cocktail!

The 2nd leg of the Triple Crown is this evening at 7PM. There is an official cocktail – called the Black-eyed Susan. Of course there are numerous renditions of the cocktail and three are in the video below. I will put the “official” official Pimlico Cocktail (thank you Gemini AI…) below and it’s the one we will be having.

The video is from three years ago.

The Farandaville “official” official recipe which we will be having.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Bourbon whiskey

Instructions

  1. Add all the liquid ingredients (vodka, bourbon, peach schnapps, orange juice, and sour mix) into a cocktail shaker filled with cracked or crushed ice.
  2. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled.
