The Belmont Jewel co*cktail is the official drink of the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the Triple Crown. This drink is so delicious, it's no wonder they call it a jewel!
Living in Kentucky means that you must be a lover of horse racing and basketball...I mean, at least that is what I was told when I moved here over 24 years ago. I'm still waiting for the love of basketball to sink in, but I have become a true lover of horses and horse racing. The Kentucky Derby, which is known as the greatest 2 minutes in sports is an extremely big deal here in KY, and is followed by the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. These 3 races together are known as the Triple Crown. I've never actually been to the Preakness or the Belmont, but my husband and I like to go out to Keeneland to watch each race and get together with friends. A few years ago, I decided to try the official drink of the Belmont, the Belmont Jewel while I was there, and it was sooo delish! It's a bourbon drink, but is surprisingly refreshing. It's the perfect drink to serve at a party or enjoy during the summer!
