And, in case you were wondering, a Black Eyed Susan is as follows:
While the official drink of the Kentucky Derby is the bourbon-y mint julep, the black-eyed Susan calls for both bourbon and vodka. According to the Preakness Stakes website, the black-eyed Susan cocktail is made with one part bourbon, one part vodka, one part peach schnapps, two parts orange juice and two parts sour mix. All of the ingredients are shaken together with ice and then served over crushed ice with an orange wedge and cherries for garnish.
Specific brands of alcohol, like Effen vodka and Maker's Mark bourbon, are used at the racecourse, but any type will do for mixing the drinks at home.
