Spirits of New Orleans (Part 1) - with Drew

This week, we're joined by the wonderful Drew as we take a trip down South to talk about one of the most unique cities in the USA, New Orleans! We explore the city's rich (and wet) history through the Sazerac, old absinthe houses, prohibition, and more!

Cocktail Discussed:

1 ¼ oz. Fundador Solera Brandy de Jerez

¾ oz. Kaniché Fiji XO Rum

Barspoon Shelter Distilling Green Monster Absinthe

Sugar cube

2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters

2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Rinse a chilled rocks glass with the absinthe, and set to the side. Muddle the sugar cube in the bottom of a mixing glass with the bitters, and add the rum and brandy, followed by ice. Stir until well chilled, and strain into the prepared glass. Express a lemon twist over the glass, discard, and serve.
