Kentucky Derby Cocktails; How to Make ‘The Brown Derby’ [VIDEO]

The Mint Julep may be the official drink of the Kentucky Derby, but I am not a fan, so I went on a hunt for some other Derby drink recipes to try. How does "The Brown Derby" sound?

• 1/2 oz Honey syrup (1 part honey, 1 part water)
• 1 1/2 oz grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed is best
