It’s track season, so we gambled on and, in our opinion, won with our “Next Great Saratoga Cocktail” entry: The Saratoga Longshot. We kept the recipe super simple, so anyone can make this delicious cocktail in the comfort of his or her Saratoga home. For our can’t-miss concoction, we went with Saratoga Courage Distillery’s gold-medal-winning Pick Six Vodka not only because of its horseplayer-focused name, but also its delicious taste—and mixed it with lemonade, the true OG summertime refreshment. Enjoy!
