We're interested in the drinks! There are a LOT of drinks associated with horse racing. Makes sense, since from Colonial times, good horse flesh and fine spirits have been preoccupations of certain "sporting" types in the US. :-) Thanks for the comment.Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-81425949082146384792019-05-04T07:54:16.817-05:002019-05-04T07:54:16.817-05:00What a gorgeous Derby cocktail!

However, due to the time difference, we'll be snoozing when the 145th Run for the Roses occurs. But, learning the results gives us something to look forward to tomorrow.

Blogger can have problems processing comments, it seems. I switched to this comment format hoping it would be easier for people (previously I had the comments embedded on the same page, and one could reply to specific comments -- now one can't do that). It does seem to have helped some people, but made it more difficult for others. Just can't win! I may go back to the older format -- it's the one I prefer. Anyway, thanks for making the effort to comment!Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-41280764563204346452019-05-03T15:10:12.458-05:002019-05-03T15:10:12.458-05:00Ah...a nice change from a Mint Julep; even if it&#...Ah...a nice change from a Mint Julep; even if it's obvious I do love them a lot! So very sophisticated; you would have to be an owner to imbibe this lovely drink. <br /><br />I've been by Churchill Downs and the areas is so beautiful but I prefer watching on TV. I don't have enough money to get past the infield and I hear that's not so much fun. So I'll make your cocktail and keep pretending. :)<br /><br />By the way I simply could not figure out how to comment for WEEKS but today was determined.
