The Derby

When I think of The Derby, the first thing that pops in to my head is awesome bourbon cocktails.  I’m not much of a horse racing guy, what can I say.  Though, when said bourbon cocktail pops in to my head it’s usually a Mint Julep in a frosty silver cup.  So, I have to say, when I saw the recipe for The Derby in Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Spirits I was intrigued.  It’s a bourbon cocktail with sweet vermouth and lime juice.  See, interesting stuff going on here.  Looking forward to the flavor interplay to come.
