A Stirrup Cup is a drink served just before hunting begins to fortify the foxhunters — liquid courage, if you will. Sweet and savory morsels, easily eaten from horseback, are also served. Please submit your recipes for favorite concoctions for your hunting flask, cool cocktails and hors d’oeuvres below. And please include your name and the name of your farm and/or city. YVH friends live far and wide. And you don’t have to be a member to contribute.
