The Preakness Stakes, an annual horse race held at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland on the third Saturday of May, has inspired a delightful libation known as the Preakness cocktail. Crafted by Allen Katz, a renowned mixologist, spirits connoisseur, and the visionary behind the esteemed New York Distilling Company, this drink bears a striking resemblance to the classic Manhattan.
While staying true to the original recipe with a minor modification, Katz introduces a subtle yet profound twist by incorporating a splash of Benedictine liqueur. Notably, the Preakness cocktail veers away from tradition by garnishing it with a zestful lemon peel that imparts a refreshing brightness, enhancing the already rich and captivating flavor profile of the beverage. Embrace the spirit of Preakness and indulge in this extraordinary concoction.
