How to Make the Preakness Cocktail Mixed Drink

Video Transcript

"Alright, the drink we're about to make is called preakness cocktail. We're going to fill up a glass, a martini glass, with some water and ice, let that sit while we're making our drink and it'll be nice and chilled by the time we're done. So, if you're looking for a nice drink to enjoy, while watching the preakness, then this is the one for you. Measure out one and a half ounces of blended whiskey, there we go, it looks like we need a new pour spout here, there we go. We're going to follow that up with three fourths of an ounce of sweet vermouth and next we'll add a teaspoon of benedictine and one dash of bitters. Alright, lets go ahead and shake it up, get it nice and cold. You may also want to stir this instead of shaking it, that's up to you. Go ahead and pour our ice water out and we'll dump it in. Last thing we'll do is just garnish it with a lemon twist, there we go and bottoms up."
