Everyone knows Emeril Lagasse for his food. And on a recent trip to New Orleans, my wife and I went to his restaurant for dinner (Read the review at our sister publication Tasty Thoughts). While waiting at the bar for our table, I ordered a signature drink from their beverage menu, a Creole Collins.
Ingredients:
- 1 Part fresh lime juice
- 1 Part Cognac
- 1 Part spiced rum
- Splash of simple syrup
Combine all the ingredients in a martini shaker filled with ice and shake well. Serve over ice in a highball glass garnished with fresh mint.
