Best Drinks
The two amazing cocktail recipes that I will be sharing really pack a punch. I also hope you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, or should I say muddy!
1. Add into a cocktail shaker filled with ice: 2 ounces Cognac, 1 ounce Bourbon, 1/2 ounce Dark Rum, 1/2 ounce Lemon Juice and 2 tablespoons fine sugar. Cover and shake and shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted.
2. Strain ingredients into a Collins glass filled with ice. Enjoy, responsibly. These really do pack a punch!
3. Looking for some colorful history to go with your Mississippi Punch? I highly recommend visiting Under the Hill Saloon located at 25 Silver Street in Natchez, Mississippi. The business doesn’t have a website but, they do have a Facebook page that lists all of their special events. Check it out!
1. Add into a cocktail shaker filled with ice: 1 ounce Hazelnut Liqueur, 1 ounce Chocolate Liqueur, 1 ounce Whipped Cream Vodka, 1/2 ounce Heavy Cream. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted.
2. Strain ingredients into chilled Martini glass that has been coated with Chocolate. They had me at Chocolate!
3. Looking to mix some blues with your mud? I highly recommend visiting Ground Zero Blues Club located at 387 Delta Avenue in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Live music and amazing home made Southern cooking tops my list for Foodie Crawl. For more information visit their website at www.groundzerobluesclub.com or click here. You can thank me later!
A, B, C’s and 1, 2, 3’s of Mississippi
Down home southern cooking is food for the belly. Local live Blues music is food for the soul. Writing this blog post has me craving a Scotch Egg and a Mississippi Mud-Tini. Does licking the glass after finishing the drink count as dessert?!
