History
The Derby cocktail has several totally different recipes under the same name. In 1947 Trader Vic publishes "Bartender's Guide" in which there are no less than 3 "Derby" recipes. We have chosen this recipe which honors a benedictine with great potential and often forgotten, here married with bourbon and angostura bitters.
