Brown Derby Cocktail
5 minutes
The classic Preakness cocktail is a refreshingly spicy take on the classic Manhattan. Made with an American rye whiskey instead of the more standard bourbon, this drink showcases the unique spiciness of rye whiskey and its ability to cut through some of the sweetness of vermouth.
Known for its rich and luxurious flavor, this timeless cocktail becomes even more dimensional when infused with a touch of citrus. With its vibrant, refreshing notes layered over a robust bourbon base, this drink is sure to be a hit with any crowd.

1½ oz. American rye whiskey
¾ oz. Sweet vermouth
¼ oz. Benedictine
1 dash of Angostura bitters
Lemon twist for garnish
Ice
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add all the ingredients.
Shake well until combined and chilled.
Express the oil from the lemon twist.
Serve and enjoy
