A bit of a belated report, but May Supper Club was an evening of "Mini Bites" enjoyed en plein air.... (more to come on that in just a second)
I would be remiss to leave out that we started the evening with a Black Eyed Susan Cocktail. A triple crown cocktail that is a refreshing blend of pineapple and orange juice mixed with vodka, rum, and Grand Marnier…this is the signature drink of The Preakness, which is the second leg of the triple crown and occurs on the third Saturday of May every year. The cocktail’s name is taken from the flowers used to make the blanket that drapes the winning horse. It is reported that certain members of this club enjoyed this cocktail so much, that they went back for seconds....possibly thirds. Really, you've gotta try this one - and so easy too; just make it ahead of time and serve from a pitcher.
