Belmont Stakes
 

OK. Not exactly a travel question. But,since I'm unfortunately not going to make it to the Belmont in person, what's a "Belmont" drink. The Derby has the mint julep, apparently the Preakness has a drink as well...what should I serve at my Belmont party? Thanks for any suggestions!

The Belmont Breeze

Ingredients:
? 1 1/2 ounces Seagram's 7 or a high quality American whiskey
? 3/4 ounces Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry
? 1/2 ounces fresh lemon juice
? 1 ounce Simple Syrup
? 1 1/2 ounces fresh orange juice
? 1 1/2 ounces cranberry juice
? 7-Up
? Club Soda

Shake first six ingredients with ice, then top with half 7-Up and half club soda. Garnish with fresh strawberry, a mint sprig and a lemon wedge.

IMHO that sounds really ghastly! Has anyone ever actually drunk one?

All I can think of are those tacky Harvey's Bristol Cream commercials they always used to air around the holidays......
I'll try anything once though! Thanks!

Go SMARTY!!!
