I love New Orleans. I’ve only been there twice, but I can’t wait to go again. It’s not just the laid back attitude, it’s the food, the art, the music and especially the cocktails.

Ramos Gin Fizz
We’re in the middle of August and here in California it’s hot and getting hotter. So, I’m all about cool drinks. But better than icy, cool drinks are cool, fizzy drinks.

Sazerac Cocktail
A few weeks ago I was going to make a sazerac for my classic cocktail. But upon doing the research on the cocktail’s history, I discovered that the cocktail not only originated in, but is also the cocktail of New Orleans.
