The Preakness is this Saturday! If you're not from Maryland, you might not know how much of a big deal that is for us here at Shmidt Spirits. You also might not know that every jewel in the Triple Crown has a dedicated cocktail. We decided to see what we could do with the Black-eyed Susan, the signature cocktail of the Preakness, with some Shmidt Spirits liquor. Unsurprisingly, our spirits only make it more delicious!

With the subtly flavoring of our Cobalt and Silver, the ingredients in this drink meld together with sweet, harmonious perfection. The peach and orange are accented by the run sweetness and subtle vanilla of the Cobalt, with the buttery crisp silver underlying it all for an extra kick. Make one and raise a glass to your mount of choice today.
