Sweet Adelaide, genesis of a classic

Posted by on November 2nd, 2009

I wanted to cre­ate a cock­tail for the Sweet gals to cel­e­brate their first depar­ture from NOLA.  I thought of the women that would be tak­ing this cruise so I did some­thing that would fit in as light and  refresh­ing to pair with all of the spicy and rich food that we serve in the city.  It has a hint of cit­rus in the cock­tail so it is tasty to con­sume at any time dur­ing the day or evening.  I’ll be behind the bar at the Swiz­zle Stick at Loew’s Hotel in the CBD (Cen­tral Busi­ness Dis­trict) on Thurs­day, Fri­day and Sat­ur­day and would love to meet you!  Stop by and say hello.  Wel­come to our won­der­ful city where we cel­e­brate indi­vid­u­al­ity and diver­sity in our every­day life.

Sweet Ade­laide

1 ounce Smirnoff Vodka (red)
½  ounce Lil­let Blanc
½  ounce Coin­treau
½  ounce fresh orange juice
½  ounce cran­berry juice

Mix all ingre­di­ents into a shaker with ice and pour into a rocks glass.
Add addi­tional cracked ice if nec­es­sary.  Orange slice for garnish.
