And what is a ‘preakness’?

Ingredients:

* 1 1/4 oz. Whiskey
* 3/4 oz. Vodka
* 3 oz. Sweet and Sour Mix
* 2 oz. Orange Juice

Preparation:
Fill a highball glass with shaved ice, add the liquors first, then top off with orange juice and sweet and sour mix. Stir and garnish with an orange slice, cherry, and stirrer.

This is not the original recipe, which was better tasting in my opinion, but is the current official recipe. The original called for equal parts of Cointreau, Mount Gay rum, and Vodka topped off with orange and pineapple juice, and garnished with a lime wedge.

FYI - In 2009, a Black-Eyed Susan cost $8.00 at Pimlico on Preakness weekend.
