Your Mixological & Gastronomical Tour of New Orleans

This is probably our most ambitious episode ever. We’ll be eating well-known New Orleans dishes, along with Abita beer, and then making New Orleans cocktails and pairing them with paczkis. We apologize in advance for all the mouth noises. Abita is the classic New Orleans beer and a lot of their offerings pair great with local cuisine. Mardi Gras Bock is a more of a Maibock than a doppelbock, which makes it a clean, easy-drinking beer. It pairs perfectly with the shrimp étoufée, red beans & rice and jambalaya. Check out the full recipes on our blog: Vieux Carré w/Custard Paczki topped with Chocolate Fudge Pimm’s Cup w/Rose Petal Jelly Paczki or Strawberry & Whipped Cream Paczki Hurricane w/Passionfruit Jelly Paczki Sazerac w/Plum Butter Paczki Ramos Gin Fizz w/Apricot Preserves Paczki In addition to all that, Pat brought Cheramie Rum. Made in New Orleans from fresh-pressed cane juice. It’s a bit like an Agricole rum but not as funky.
