COCKTAIL RECIPE
Brandy Crusta
Brandy Crusta - A historic and aromatic classic made with brandy, triple sec and lemon juice, served with a sugar rim and lemon peel.
Brandy Crusta is one of the most iconic classics of 19th century New Orleans bar culture. The "Crusta" in the name refers to the sugary edge applied to the rim of the glass, adding a visual and aromatic element to the character of the cocktail.
The inventor of the cocktail, Joseph Santini, a famous bartender of the period, gave the drink a flamboyant and balanced structure with touches of sugar rim and lemon peel.
“Life's sweetest moments require a little patience and a little courage”
The warm and soft character of brandy combines with the citrus flavor of triple sec and the lively acidity of lemon juice. Angostura bitters brings out the depth and herbal character of the drink.
