Only 11 days left before the final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, and even though there isn’t a horse in contention for the Triple Crown title, tensions are still high, both on the racecourse and behind the current. Here at Only Players, however, we take the edge off all the stress.
Whether you watching the Belmont Stakes in person, live from your local bar, or at home, don’t forget to be dressed to impress. As far as drinks go, the Belmont’s signature cocktail is the Belmont Jewel. Read along for the recipe and let us know your thoughts on the drink at [email protected].
