Black-Eyed Susan Drink

A drink for the Preakness Stakes, the Black-Eyed Susan Cocktail is so named for the Maryland-shaped blanket of yellow flowers that is draped around the winner's neck. Vodka and elderflower liqueur join pineapple, orange and lime juices for a sunny drink worthy of race-watching. (via feastandwest.com)

This sunny, citrus cocktail is the official drink of the Preakness Stakes horse race. However, you can (and should) enjoy the refreshing Black-Eyed Susan drink all summer long.
