This recipe is from memory as we were unable to find
reference to it online. The Sir Saint cocktail was a finalist in the 2009 Tales of the Cocktail/Times Picayune “Drink Like a Saint” contest to celebrate the
New Orleans Saints making their debut in the 2009 Super Bowl.
Think of this as a mojito, but instead of rum, use absinthe.
1 oz.
Absinthe (we like Herbsaint)
1 oz. fresh
lime juice½ oz. simple syrup
2 oz. ginger ale or ginger beer
raw sugar
Mint
Muddle mint
in the bottom of a shaker with a touch of raw sugar; add absinthe, lime juice and simple syrup. Add ice
and shake it baby! Then pour into a double old fashioned glass over ice and top with ginger ale/beer.
Garnish with mint and lime. Enjoy!
We’re hoping
Mickey Loomis’ press conference today means that Drew Brees’ contract is a done
deal. Fingers crossed.
On a side
note, LRA VP of Communications Wendy Waren and her husband were the runners-up
for originality in the Drink Like a Saint contest with the “Black and Gold Air
Raid.” With a generous measure of Cruzan Black Strap Rum and honey liqueur
Barenjager, a touch of orange flower water and club soda, the strength was
tamed and it tasted almost like chocolate.
