I was planning on writing all about my AWESOME trip to New Orleans and, like, bragging about it to y’all. But then I got food poisoning while I was there and TRUST me: food poisoning ain’t nothin’ to brag about. Unless you’re a freak who’s into puke parties, but then that’s your deal, dude.
Anyway, one thing I’d been really looking forward to was getting a Pimm’s Cup Cocktail at the famous Napoleon House. Woe is me, I didn’t quite make it there, for reasons that should be obvious. But I did do some other fun stuff before I got sick and that’s all in the video.
Fortunately, they have the drink recipe on their website, although it leaves out a couple probably-important steps like stirring the drink and it also directs you to fill a glass completely with ice, but that hardly leaves any room for the 7-Up so I go for 3/4 full of ice. Like I said, I never had one while I was there so if you have, please try this recipe and let me know if it really is the same!
