The Famous Napoleon House Pimm’s Cup Cocktail
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!

Two members of my family got food poisoning in New Orleans this spring at the Turkey and Wolf. They both had same thing to eat. But we managed a Pimms over near St. Louis Cathedral, river side. I’ve had them loads in England but fun to find in US.
