About the Oaks Lily
The Oaks Lily is the official cocktail of the Kentucky Oaks, a historic horse race held at Churchill Downs the day before the Kentucky Derby. Inspired by the Cosmopolitan, this refreshing drink features vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup, making it perfect for warm days.
Its vibrant pink hue pays homage to the garland of stargazer lilies awarded to the winning filly and the race’s support of breast cancer awareness. Whether at the event or at home, the Oaks Lily is a delicious way to celebrate the spirit of race day.
