 THE RECIPE
2oz 504Gold 1oz rosemary citrus syrup 1oz lemon juice 3 dashes paradiso bitters Ginger beer to taste Fresh mint Add rum, syrup, lemon juice, bitters, and fresh mint in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain over ice. Top with ginger beer to taste (1-2oz is our preference!), and garnish with a fresh mint sprig.  THE RECIPE
2oz 504Gold 1oz 504Syrups Praline 1.5oz carrot juice 1oz passion fruit juice 1oz coconut cream .5oz lemon juice 1oz orange juice 3 dashes orange bitters A dash of ground cinnamon Add ingredients to cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain, top with a dash of ground cinnamon. THE STORY We loved experimenting with carrot juice cocktails during Mardi Gras (you might remember our limited special 504King Cake cocktail Carrot King...) and decided to bring back the unique flavor for Easter! We've been surprised by how well carrot juice pairs with rum and fruit juice - it provides a nice earthy balance to the sugary presence of fruit juice, and in this cocktail, pairs with the smoky finish of the 504Gold to create something truly special. We recommend drinking the 24 Carrot Gold with a side of carrot cake or a savory pot roast!  THE RECIPE

We've never been on a Ski Lift before, but it sounded like a good name for a wintertime cocktail... So we figured we could gather inspiration from our memories of tropical ziplines - that's the same thing basically, right? Ski Lift tastes like riding through the air in a cool breeze - refreshing with just the right amount of bite from the three types of house-made bitters we put in this cocktail. So what if it tastes more like a warm, oceanside breeze than a frigid, mountainside breeze?  THE RECIPE 2oz 504Gold 1oz Grapefruit juice 1oz 504Syrups Hibiscus 1oz Lime Juice 5 Dashes Paradiso bitters (you can use angostura or cinnamon bitters instead!) Shake with ice & strain! Garnish with grapefruit peel. THE STORY
We love that citrus season always coincides with the holidays. Is there anything better than a satsuma picked fresh off the branch? Citrus flavors pair so well with traditional winter holiday spices - the tart from the citrus balances the warmth of cinnamon, allspice, clove and nutmeg so well. Since we couldn't yet find good satsuma juice, we opted to experiment with grapefruit juice cocktails. All for Yule is one of our favorite seasonal specialties - the spices in the hibiscus syrup, the smokiness of the 504Gold rum, the tart of the grapefruit juice, and the hint of tropical delight in our house-made paradiso bitters all combine to create something truly unique - we'll have another, please!  THE RECIPE
1oz 504Hibiscus 1oz 504Gold 1oz cherry syrup or cherry juice 1oz lemon juice Ginger beer Add rum, syrup and juice to a shaker with ice and shake. Strain over ice. Top with ginger beer to taste. THE STORY We're donner-ing our gay apparel to get blitz-en-ed! This cocktail began as a mis-poured version of one of our speciality cocktails for Harry Potter Trivia night... We loved the new version so much we knew it had to stay on the menu somehow! The warmth of the ginger beer combined with the sweetness of the cherry reminds us of holiday dinners. With its bright red color that illuminates anything around it, it seemed obvious to name it after a bright red Christmastime fable - Rudolph's bright red nose!  THE RECIPE
2oz. 504Gold 1oz. Pineapple Habanero Syrup 1oz. Lemon Juice 1oz. Orange Juice Add ingredients to cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain over ice into a rocks glass. Garnish with lemon slice, if desired. THE STORY After shutting down the tasting room and securing their own homes, our incredible team scattered across the Gulf Coast, some staying in the city and some evacuating ahead of Hurricane Ida's landfall in New Orleans. Product Development Specialist Parker spent the week on the beach a few states over, which proved to be the perfect atmosphere for cocktail creation. (Seriously, he came back with a notebook full of new cocktails ideas - we can't wait to share them all with you!) The Surf Slap is brought to you by salty air, sandy toes, suntans, and the sensation of waves slapping against every step towards the sea. The Surf Slap, along with an endless list of upcoming cocktail releases, arrived with the inspiration of solace from the storm. It might not be the shoreside vacay you're craving, but we hope each sip of the Surf Slap offers some refreshing satisfaction, however momentary.  THE RECIPE 1oz 504Gold 1oz 504Silver 1oz orange juice 1oz lime juice 1oz 504Syrups Hibiscus 1 dash aromatic bitters 1 dash paradiso bitters Shake vigorously in a cocktail shaker and strain into a hurricane glass (if you have one on hand) over ice. Serves 1. Enjoy. THE STORY We rolled out this deceptively easy special cocktail in honor of a New Orleans Chamber of Commerce pop-up held on June 3rd in our tasting room! Despite the name, it was truly a breath of fresh air to greet and network with professional colleagues and friends after a long year and a half of exclusive Zoom calls and our new-found reliance on blue light glasses. (They're both trendy and effective!) On the other hand, our team has been pushing through for weeks and we're exhausted. We hope your team and ours will whip up a batch of hibiscus syrup in a beach hut somewhere soon and sip on this cocktail all week. In our separate huts...to be clear. We love you guys, but we need quiet to appreciate this.
 THE RECIPE 2oz. 504Gold .25oz. Simple Syrup 5 shakes Chili Bitters (or more if you're feelin' extra spicy) Pour all ingredients in a rocks glass, either neat or over ice. Stir and enjoy. Infuse all ingredients in rum for two weeks. Strain and bottle. THE STORY We love spicy drinks. On our back patio, we're always growing some variety of hot peppers. Currently, habaneros are beginning to ripen. (Many of our staff members have green thumbs and successfully grow cayennes, jalapeños, poblanos, and various other peppers and herbs successfully - remember that post we did earlier this spring about planting a cocktail garden?) Our menu has previously featured spicy daquiris and other spicy cocktails, but we wanted something simple to highlight the flavor of our rum with just a small kick - an Old Fashioned seemed like the right opportunity. We use smoked chilis in the bitters we make, which complements the oaky flavor of 504Gold so well. This twist on the old fashioned is our new favorite - if the thought of making bitters on your own terrifies you, stop in to try our version in the tasting room!
