Well this Saturday is the Belmont horse race. The third and final race in the triple crown and i must say this cocktail is the one i am most excited about. Mainly because it doesn’t have ingredients that not only get you feeling good, but also leaves your breath minty fresh. Not a good combination yet every year we guzzle mint juleps, and every year i can still taste it in the back of my throat. And i suspect it will still be there come Thanksgiving. This cocktail is called the Belmont Jewel, and even if your not taking in the horses this weekend, i think it still sounds very refreshing on a hot June day! This recipe comes from thespruceeats.com enjoy!!
