While you're cheering for California Chrome to win the second leg of the Triple Crown tomorrow, make sure that you have the correct drink in your hand.

The official drink of the Preakness is the Black Eyed Susan. You can find the recipe here:

I made one for practice tonight, and it's pretty good. Kinda like a fancy Screwdriver. It was easier to make than the Mint Julep's two weeks ago for the Derby, anyway.

Nowhere near as good as a mint julep though. But better than a Belmont Breeze, I suppose.

Yeah, bowling ball mint juleps all around!

I find OJ in any alcoholic beverage to be nauseating, so I will pass on that other drink.

Oh no, no, no. Mint Juleps are the mojito of the American south. Them shits is delicious, yo. A bitch to make, but tasty as all get out.

Maybe the ones I have had were made wrong or something, but they were overly sweet, and syrupyly disgusting. I could almost feel my teeth rotting from all the sugar.

Hmm, sounds like they put in too much sugar. On the rare occasion I have one, I always ask for half sugar/simple syrup because I hate sweet drinks.
