Interesting side note about this somewhat popular mixed drink. Until it was replaced in 1998 by Dale DeGroff's variation of it, The Belmont Breeze, the White Carnation was the official drink of the Belmont Stakes. Both drinks are worthy of the status associated with the last leg of horse racing's Triple Crown, it is merely a matter of bourbon or vodka (and a few other ingredients).
Ingredients:
- 2 oz vodka
- 1/2 oz peach schnapps
- 2 oz orange juice
- soda water
- splash of cream
- orange slice for garnish
Preparation:
- Pour the vodka, schnapps and orange juice into a mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir well.
- Strain into a highball glass filled with ice.
- Top with soda water and a splash of cream.
- Garnish with an orange slice.
