Black-Eyed Rye
Preakness is Maryland's greatest day - this is a drink inspired by fast horses and oh-so-slow aged Sagamore Rye Whiskey.
The Black-Eyed Rye is the signature Rye Whiskey cocktail from Sagamore Spirit. Developed in 2016 by local Baltimore Mixologist, Aaron Joseph, this drink blends the best of warm weather ingredients and classic cocktail mixers. Fresh backyard blackberries and mint are a must, especially if you plan to enjoy this outside with friends. Pick your favorite spicy ginger beet to complement the balanced profile of Sagamore Spirit Signature Rye Whiskey.
