New Food and Beverage Offerings at the Track

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Last week, the New York Racing Association (NYRA) announced a variety of new additions to its food and beverage lineup for this year’s Saratoga Race Course summer meet.

Saratoga Sunrise, the official cocktail of Saratoga Race Course, has undergone a change: lemonade has replaced orange juice in a recipe that includes Belvedere vodka, grenadine, and a lemon garnish.

Five newly redesigned food carts will debut trackside, including: Union Ave Grill (sweet sausage with roasted tomato and onion piperade), Toga Gyros (a vegetarian favorite with crispy falafel bites paired with a refreshing cucumber yogurt sauce), Taco Republic (chicken carnitas tacos, slow-braised and pulled, layered with pico de gallo, salsa verde, and cilantro on warm flour tortillas), Capital Q (slow-smoked BBQ brisket panini with barbecue sauce, crispy onions, and pickled jalapeños), and the Carnegie Hot Dog Cart (a spicy all-beef sausage dressed with classic toppings: Dusseldorf mustard, relish, sauerkraut, chopped raw onions, and a NY pushcart onion sauce).

The new Subourbon Life canned cocktail line features non-carbonated, Bourbon-based drinks, including Bourbon and Pink Lemonade; Bourbon Iced Tea and Lemonade; and the Bourbon Margarita, comprised of Bourbon, lime and a touch of citrus. Each option is available at the Subourbon Beverage Express adjacent to the Finish Line Bar and Grill.

The list of new and returning spirits and wines includes: Bulleit Bourbon; Casamigos and Tres Agaves Tequila; Hendrick’s Gin; Mount Gay Rum; Moët & Chandon Champagne; Mionetto Prosecco; Josh Cellars, Ruffino and Joel Gott Wines, including a light pinot grigio from Ménage à Trois; and Albany-based ALB Vodka.
