Description
The Cafe Brulot examines the cocktail that was born of a legend and has endured through the centuries, showcasing New Orleans's love of flavored drama. A combination of coffee, liquor, and fire, Cafe Brulot also goes by the name Cafe Brulot Diabolique, "devilishly incendiary coffee." Varying somewhat depending on what restaurant makes it, the base ingredients of this unusual after-dinner drink are coffee, brandy, sugar, cinnamon, lemon, oranges, cloves, and sometimes an orange liqueur. Although the drink may have originated in France, Cafe Brulot is primarily mixed in New Orleans, making it a unique Crescent City tradition. In this entertaining little book, Sue Strachan delves into the history of the cocktail, the story of its various ingredients, and the customary implements used to serve it.
