New Orleans Cocktail Recipes

BRANDY MILK PUNCH
2 oz. Brandy
1 oz. Simple Syrup
4 oz. Milk
Shake with ice and serve in a punch glass. Dust with nutmeg.

FRENCH 75
1 oz. Martell VS Cognac
3/4 oz. Simple Syrup
1/2 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
Sparkling Wine

Shake with ice the Brandy, lemon juice and simple syrup. Strain into a large goblet glass and top with Champagne . Garnish with lemon and other fresh fruits. Finish with a sprig of mint.

MINT JULEP
½ oz. Simple Syrup
2 sprigs of Mint (Use tender, young mint sprigs, they last longer
and look better in the glass.)
2 oz. Bourbon.

Muddle one sprig of mint in the bottom of a highball glass or a silver julep cup with sugar syrup. Fill with crushed ice and add the bourbon. Swirl with a bar spoon until the outside of the glass frosts. Top up with more ice and garnish with a sprig of mint.

PIMMS CUP
1 ½ oz. PIMMS #1
3 oz. Fresh lemonade
Fill with Club Soda or Sweet Soda

Combine ingredients in a highball glass and garnish with a spear of European cucumber and slice of apple. 

RAMOS GIN FIZZ
1 1/2 oz. Gin
1/2 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
1 1/4 oz. Simple Syrup
2 oz. milk (half & half or cream if preferred)
1 small egg white
2 drops of Orange Flower Water
Soda

Shake all ingredients with ice except the soda and strain into a highball glass without ice. Top with club soda. No garnish..

SAZERAC

Fill two rocks glasses with ice. Wait until glasses
are chilled. Empty one chilled glass and put a teaspoon of sugar and two dashes of Peychaud's Bitters in the bottom, with a tiny splash of water (or use a dash of simple syrup). Crush the saturated sugar cube using a muddler or the back of a spoon. Add two shots of Sazerac Rye Whiskey and stir.

Empty ice from the second glass into the glass containing rye, sugar, and bitters, allowing it to chill. Add dash of Herbsaint to the second glass, and roll glass horizontally to coat the inside of the glass with the Herbsaint. For added drama, twirl it into the air, allowing the centrifugal force to spin the Herbsaint around the insides of the glass, calling out "Sazerac!". Discard the excess. Pour contents of the first glass into the second glass and garnish with a lemon peel, making sure to first extract the lemon essence from the peel. Enjoy.
