Like Mr. DeGroff, I too cannot resist a cocktail named after a racetrack, though with my Kentucky roots I just might like the drink even more if it were named the Churchill Downs.

Since first encountering The Craft of the Cocktail I've had a fond memory in my head about this cocktail. It is balanced, depending upon the limes, and makes me want to answer yes when asked, "Would you care for another, sir?" and I find that to be one of the greatest complements one might give to a well crafted cocktail.
