The Cafe Adelaide Swizzle combines New Orleans Amber Rum, fresh squeezed lime juice, bitters, a splash of soda and a “secret ingredient” which just so happens to be Velvet Falernum.
The opening reception packed us all into a room like sardines, but plied us with drink and tasty cupcakes.

An Ojen Frappe from Lüke was a treat, as he Ojen Absinthe was a first for me. It was delightfully pink due to a touch of grenadine.
Actually, Rick, I believe the pink comes from a liberal dose of Peychaud’s bitters. I, too, enjoyed the frappe.
Ah yes… too many cocktails :) Thanks Paul.
The Adelaide Swizzle gets a C to C- from me, the Ojen Frappe at Luke was top notch.
And that Rabbit/Duck Pate was just too bland for words for me. Needless to say, the texture wasn’t enough to pull it through. Joana’s Cochon du Lait was great though.
Nice pics, as always.
