sebonico Posted July 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2014 My husband is trying recreate his new favorite drink the Kentucky Derby. We had it on the Reflection in June. Does anyone know what is in it? We wished we had taken a picture of the Molecular Bar menu.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2bespoiled Posted July 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) It must be a new drink as I haven't seen it on the menus posted online from last year: http://www.thepreismans.com/med_silhouette_menus.htm https://www.google.com/search?q=Molecular+bar+menu&oq=Molecular+bar+menu&aqs=chrome..69i57.3202j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8 Maybe keep searching?

Rare Cruise Junky Posted July 4, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2014 It was the featured drink on Solstice for practically the whole cruise. I thought I saw the recipe in the book. I'll check when I get home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted July 4, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Here are the ingredients per the menu from the Molecular bar. Celebrity started to updated the drink menu in this venue late last year. It as slowly added to the ships one by one. Woodford Reserve Bourbon St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur Domaine de Canton Liqueur Elderflower and Ginger Essence Roasted Apple and Toasted Spice Bitters Lavender Yuzu Bitters Citrus Enhancer Take a look at Juniors website and see if any of the above is available for purchase. http://juniormerinostore.com http://www.theliquidchefinc.com/#!home/mainPage Edited July 4, 2014 by cruisingator2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfries Posted July 4, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The Kentucky Derby was one of my favorites on the Equinox earlier this year. I found the recipe on Junior Merino's web site and have made many of them this summer. The recipe calls for Elderflower Ginger syrup, which we made our own. It also calls for some aromatic bitters which we don't have, but substituted something close. Here is a link to the recipe Kentucky Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted July 4, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I will be on Reflection in November and will give that drink a try:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdemand Posted January 21, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I too was a big fan of the Kentucky Derby. To make i thru the summer, anticipating this year's cruise, I bought all the ingredients from Junior's website. Perfect recreation of the atmosphere at the Molecular Bar but no Sergei nor Andrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingdelt Posted January 22, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It was my favorite at the Molecular Bar. The ingredient list posted earlier missed one key element, the liquid nitrogen to make the drink quite cold without diluting it.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobster129 Posted January 22, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Kentucky Derby was my favorite cocktail while sitting @ the Molecular Bar for SOMEONE ELSE to order....because I loved it when they added the citrus aromatic spray/mist to the air above the beverage as they served it. Delightful:p Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
