Belmont Park (cocktail)

A “Belmont Park” cocktail recipe appears in the book Americana: Eight Cocktail Napkins, Hand Blocked, with Recipes and the Histories of Eight Famous Drinks (1925?). The recipe contains Bacardi rum, port, one egg and a teaspoonful of powdered sugar. This little-known cocktail was rediscovered by the website Barina Craft (below).
 
A drink called “Big Apple” was briefly the official drink of the Belmont Stakes in 1976. The “White Carnation” (vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, soda, and a splash of cream) had been the official drink of the Belmont Stakes from the 1980s until 1997’s “Belmont Breeze” (bourbon, sherry, simple syrup, lime juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, 7-Up, and club soda). The Belmont Breeze was itself replaced as the official drink in 2011 by the “Belmont Jewel” (bourbon, lemonade and pomegranate juice).

History Of The Belmont Park Cocktail
First Published
The Belmont Park Cocktail was a piece of Americana circa 1925 whose publishers found a way around the Volstead Act of 1920.* They added a shot of humor to the drink recipes.
 
Let’s Get Serious
Dedicated to serious drinkers everywhere, Americana was a rare prohibition era book that poked fun at the Eighteenth Amendment. Non-alcoholic liquors and ‘flavorings’ were used as ingredients in the eight cocktails which included the Alabama, Barbary Coast, Belmont Park, Blue Blazer, Deadwood Dick, Manhattan, New Orleans Drip and the Rip Van Winkle Sleeper.
