A few weeks ago, the folks at George Remus Bourbon and Rossville Union Rye Whiskey bet on me to make Derby Day cocktails. If you missed those recipes on my social accounts, here they are!

For George Remus, I went with my take on Patrick Halloran’s cocktail of the same name.

The George Remus Third Man

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz George Remus Bourbon

• 3/4 oz Campari

• 1 oz grapefruit juice

• 3/4 oz lemon juice

• 1/2 oz simple syrup

Instructions:

Shake all ingredients with ice until chilled. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.

For Rossville Union, I decided to reimagine the Kentucky Mule—the whiskey-forward alternative to the Moscow Mule.

The Rossville Union Blind Buck

• 2 oz Rossville Union Rye Whiskey

• 1 strawberry, muddled

• 3/4 oz lemon juice, freshly squeezed

• 1/2 oz simple syrup

• 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters

• ginger beer

Instructions:

Muddle strawberry in shaker. Add remaining ingredients. Shake with ice. Fine strain into a Collins glass and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a strawberry.
