ABOUT
Let’s take the classic martini to New Orleans. This cocktail was created in the 1940s at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop in the Crescent City. The absinthe addition as opposed to bitters is traditional of many NOLA classics. This dry martini variant would pair beautifully with some fresh oysters 🤤 Cheers y’all!
