GINGER BEER RECIPES

Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter of New Orleans is conducting a contest to find a new cocktail to bare the name of the hotel. It will be the Carousel Bar Monteleone Cocktail.

Japhet Bower from Toronto submitted one using Ginger Beer and it sounds absolutely delicious.

Japhet suggests;

¾ oz Sailor Jerry Rum
½ oz St.Germain Elderflower
¼ oz Marie Brizard Banane
¼ oz McGuinness Apricot Brandy
¼ oz Grand Marnier
Splash of orange juice
1 oz lime juice
Ginger Beer
Slice of ginger

Shake and strain the first six ingredients into a cocktail glass
Top up with ginger beer
Rub a slice of ginger along the rim of the glass and use as a garnish.

This certainly is a cocktail and it sounds yummy !

Head on over to Carousel Bar Blog from the Hotel Monteleone to check it out. The bar turns 60 in May and is having a new cocktail contest to celebrate.
