Join the Cocktail Revolution
Cocktails are back.Though for most of New Orleans, and certainly us, they never left. Ti Adelaide Martin and Lally Brennan, Co-Proprietors of Commander's Palace and known in some circles as "The Cocktail Chicks," want you to be a part of the Cocktail Revolution. Put down the bottled sour mix and step into The Land of Cocktails – the bar adjacent to the Commander's kitchen. Watch with anticipation as the bartender vigorously shakes your Ramos Gin Fizz with drama and flair or appreciate the balance of tequila, limoncello and bitters in a sip of Ti's favorite – the Tequila Mockingbird II.
Join us at the bar and peruse the cocktail list for a Commander's invention or a classic cocktail – we doubt you'll be disappointed. Cheers!
Featured and Seasonal Cocktail lists:
In the Land of Cocktails
Sazerac
Sazerac Rye Whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, Herbsaint and finished with a twist of lemon. A New Orleans classic.
Sidecar
This is a big, beautiful drink for a connoisseur of cocktails. Brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice and sugar in perfect proportions.
Old Fashioned
Muddled orange and cherry with bitters and sugar form the base for this enigmatic classic. Then add Bourbon or Rye whiskey for the kick. Or have it like Ella did—with Scotch.
Original Mai Tai
We use Trader Vic's recipe for the King of the "Tiki" drinks. Gold and dark rum, Orgeat, lime juice, and Orange Curacao will definitely get everyone in the party spirit.
Blood and Sand
Scotch, Cherry Herring, Sweet Vermouth, and Orange combined in a romantic cocktail, named for the 1922 Rudolph Valentino movie..
French 75
Named for the 75mm French cannons that helped win World War I, the base for this lovely cocktail is sparkling wine with sugar and lemon. Choose gin or brandy to finish yours off.
Manhattan
This classic was introduced at the Manhattan Club in the 1870's, during a banquet hosted by Sir Winston Churchill's mother. Sweet vermouth and bitters are mixed with whiskey and served up or on the rocks.
