Crown Royal is out
of the gate this horse racing season with two new drinks
NORWALK, CONN. (March 14, 2005)
With horse racing season upon us, the makers of Crown
Royal are introducing two new drinks. If you’re headed to
the races or entertaining at home, try Crown Royal’s new
race-inspired drinks, the Crown of Roses and the Royal Stretch,
to celebrate the spirit of the sport.
The Crown of Roses’ deep color is inspired
by the garland of roses presented in victory circleto the winner
of the Kentucky Derby. The winning combination of Crown Royal,
amaretto, pineapple and cranberry juices allows the Crown of
Roses to marry notes of cinnamon with refreshing fruit sweetness,
which is rounded out by the classic taste of Crown Royal whisky.
 The Crown of Roses
1
oz. Crown Royal
½ oz. amaretto
1 oz. pineapple juice
¼ oz. cranberry juice
3 dashes Angostura bitters
Garnish with a maraschino cherry
Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full of
ice and add all of the ingredients. Shake for approximately 15
seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add garnish.
The Royal Stretch is a refreshing drink alternative for race day.
The blend of Crown Royal
paired with brisk sparkling water and a hint of cherry juice is
easy to make and satisfying.
 Royal Stretch
1 ½ oz. Crown Royal
3 oz. sparkling water or club soda
Splash of cherry juice or grenadine
Serve over ice in a collins glass with mint leaf
garnish.
For the 11th consecutive year, Crown Royal is sponsoring
the Crown Royal American TurfStakes on Friday, May 6, before the
131st running of the Kentucky Oaks. The Crown Royal American Turf
Stakes, a 1¼-mile race
for three-year-old horses, was won by Kitten’s Joy last year.
