In recognition of the 2003 Kentucky Derby winner, Funny Cide, who recently passed away at 23, I give you a twist on the Man O’ War.
The champion was the 30th horse to win the first two legs of the Triple Crown, only to fall short in the Belmont Stakes to Empire Maker and finish 3rd.
He was a fan favorite at the Kentucky Horse Park. To all horse racing fans, “Here is to Funny Cide, a great horse and champion.” INGREDIENTS:
- 2 oz. Kentucky Bourbon
- 1 oz. Blood Orange Cider
- 0.5 oz. Sweet Vermouth
- 0.5 oz. of Lemon Juice
- 1 Slice of Orange for Garnish
METHOD:
- Add bourbon, cider, vermouth, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.
- Shake until chilled.
- Pour contents into a coupe glass.
- Garnish with an orange slice, and remember a great horse.
This recipe receives 4/5 Barrels.
