Kentucky Oaks – Best Recipes Ever https://newfoodie.tbwlab.com Mon, 15 May 2023 17:26:18 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 Sparkling Oaks Lily Cocktail https://newfoodie.tbwlab.com/sparkling-oaks-lily-cocktail/ https://newfoodie.tbwlab.com/sparkling-oaks-lily-cocktail/#respond Mon, 15 May 2023 17:26:18 +0000 https://foodieinmiami.com/?p=12072 So I was in line at The Kentucky Derby to get a pink drink I’d seen going by called the Lily, as I was sick of the Mint Juleps. Sacrilegious at Churchill Downs, I know! A gentleman in line gave me a hot tip on a horse- #8. I left the long line for drinks for a shorter line to bet and bet $10 on Mage- the winning, long-shot horse. Yipee!


That part was good, but I never got my Oaks Lily cocktail, so I looked up the recipe and made it for myself for Mother’s Day. It’s pretty much a Cosmo, but served in a stemless wine glass and garnished with blackberries and a lemon wheel. I had pickled cranberries (which is more in keeping with the drink) but I realize most people don’t have these around. Regular cranberries would be too bitter and, of course, you could just skip the garnish. I also added Rose Prosecco, to make it a sparking drink.

Here’s the recipe, followed by a short video of me making the drink, shot by my daughter A.J. I’m wearing my Kentucky Derby baseball cap and Britto T-shirt. Please forgive my annoying voice and chubby cheeks. Like Popeye- “I y’am what I y’am!”

Notes

  • Please don’t buy simple syrup! It’s so easy to make. Put qual parts water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved. That’s it. Keeps in the fridge for a while.

A Cosmo by any other name would taste as sweet!
