In November 2009, my husband and I were delighted to be able to have Sunday brunch at Chef John Besh's restaurant, La Provence, in Lacombe, Louisiana. We fell in love with everything we ate that day, and I purchased a signed copy of Chef Besh's cookbook My New Orleans . Our waitress was wonderful; the manager was personable & friendly. We even chatted with the head chef, Erick Loos IV, and he signed my cookbook, too. We also had a wonderful drink - an Old Fashioned. Unfortunately, the recipe for this drink was not in the cookbook. So I emailed the restaurant and they graciously sent me their recipe. We cannot wait to go back! Ingredients:
ice |
one dash of peychaud bitters |
simple syrup |
jack daniels bourbon |
1 -2 maraschino cherry |
1 orange wedge |
Directions:
1. Fill a Rocks glass with ice and add a dash of bitters. 2. Fill glass 1/3 full with simple syrup* or sweeten to your taste. 3. fill remainder of glass with Jack Daniels Bourbon. 4. Garnish with muddled (crushed) maraschino cherry and orange wedge. 5. * To make simple syrup mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of boiling water; stir well and refrigerate any leftover syrup. |
