This time of year brings out a ton of fashion, food, and of course, the classic cocktails: the Mint Julep and the Grey Goose Oaks Lily. We all know that the Mint Julep’s call to fame is bourbon and mint, but not everyone is aware of the inner workings of a Lily. The Lily is the official drink of The Oaks and is as refreshing as it is beautiful. The cocktail is made from Grey Goose vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, cranberry juice, and orange liqueur, with a lemon wedge and blackberry to garnish. The two recipes that follow incorporate the flavors of each cocktail into two completely different dishes that you can be proud to serve at your Derby Day bash.
