Black-Eyed Susan - Drink Recipe

Just like going to a Grateful Dead Concert to say you have done it, so too is attending the Preakness.

I had the unique opportunity to work at the Preakness almost 20 years ago and let me just say it was an interesting experience for sure!

This is an important Maryland legacy, so even if you never get to witness the Preakness in person, you can certainly bring part of the Preakness home. The Black-Eyes Susan is the drink of the Preakness and just a great summertime drink on those hot days - Preakness or not!

Recipe is as follows:

1 - 1/4 cup vodka
4 cups orange juice
1 - 1/4 cup light rum
3/4 cup triple sec
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
4 cups pineapple juice
An ice ring

Chill all ingredients.

Just before serving combine in a punch bowl.

Unmold ice ring and float in bowl.

Makes 10 large servings.
