The Belmont Jewel may be the official drink on race day, but you'll want to make this citrusy cocktail for every occasion.
Ingredients
Ice cubes
2 ounces lemonade
1-1/2 ounces bourbon
1 ounce pomegranate juice
Lemon peel strip
Instructions
1Shake the cocktail
2Fill a shaker half full with ice. Add the lemonade, bourbon and pomegranate juice. Cover and shake the mixture until condensation forms on outside of shaker, about 10 to 15 seconds. Editor's Tip: If you don't have a cocktail shaker, a Mason jar with a tight lid works surprisingly well in a pinch.
3Strain and garnish the cocktail
4Strain the cocktail into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish it with a lemon peel. Editor's Tip: Twist the lemon peel gently over the drink to express the fragrant oils, then swipe the edges with the swath before dropping it in or skewering it with a cocktail pick.
