The Oaks Lily

By starspangledlady

This drink made its debut at the 132nd Oaks Day and was created by Tim Laird as the first signature drink of this prestigious race, run on the Friday before Derby Day. The color of the drink emulates that of the Stargazer lily which is the flower in the prized blanket awarded to the winning horse of the Kentucky Oaks, known as the Fillies for the Lilies.

This mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until serving time

This is my own recipe. Not the official one because I don't like the mix used in it. ?
