Second Drink of Christmas

Image

On the 2nd day of Christmas, my bartender made for me Brandy Milk Punch.

I recently re-discovered this classic New Orleans cocktail on my last visit; it is a traditional Southern Holiday drink. You really should try one – they are yummy but I wouldn’t suggest drinking too many of them in one sitting. This drink is also a perfect ‘hair of the dog’ drink – try it instead of a Caesar.

  • 1.5 oz Old New Orleans Cajun Spice Rum
  • .75 oz simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water)
  • 1 dash pure vanilla extract
  • 3 oz whole milk
  • Fresh nutmeg and cinnamon

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the brandy, milk, vanilla and simple syrup with 3 ice cubes and shake until frothy.

2. Strain into a double-old fashioned glass with cracked ice.

3. Shave fresh nutmeg and cinnamon on top.

4. Repeat

4.Drink

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
