COUNTDOWN TO THE DERBY: OAKS LILY


Hats and horses may be the most important part of the Kentucky Derby, but you can not forget the iconic drinks.  Many opt for a traditional mink julep, but I fancy the prettier and tastier Oaks Lily. This refreshing Spring cocktail is sure to match your Derby Day outfit, here is what you will need: 

1 oz Grey Goose Vodka (the official vodka of the Kentucky Derby) 
1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz Simple syrup 
3 oz Cranberry juice
1 splash Orange liqueur 

Garnish: 
1 Fresh blackberry 
1 Slice of lemon 

"Fill glass to slightly above rum with cubed ice.  Add all ingredients to the glass and stir slowly.  Garnish with a fresh blackberry and a slice of lemon."
