With Mardi Gras just around the corner, I figured it was time to bust out the classic Brandy Crusta recipe.
This cocktail is a classic cocktail that comes right out of New Orleans, so that makes it a perfect cocktail to sip on during Mardi Gras season.
With complex flavors of cherry, lemon, orange, and cognac you’ll definitely want a second round.
So let’s learn how to make the Brandy Crusta!
These are the exact Nick n Nora glasses I use!
