To celebrate my last evening in New Orleans Maki, Court and I went to a restaurant called Wolfe's to enjoy some excellent cocktails and food. Earlier in the week Maki and I met the bartender for this establishment and after we started asking around it was highly recommended by those who were aware of it. Scotty, the bartender started off the evening by making what he referred to as a redemption cocktail. This was a martini glass full of chartreuse that was then coocked down and I have no idea what was added after that. The final ingredient was white pepper. The presentation was excellent, which you can see from the photo. That is Amber our waitress in the background.
As you can see, at this point the drink is still being prepared and the Chartreuse is burning off. Here is the finished product.
Anyway, it was a perfect end to an almost perfect week. We enjoyed some of the best drinks in the city and we followed them up with some excellent food. I would recommend anyone who visits or lives in NOLA to go visit Wolfe's. It appears to be a relatively unkown gem in the heart of the city. In typical New Orleans fashion, I went out with a bang. After dinner, we went to the Maple Leaf and watched Rebirth Brass Band do their thing. What a long strange trip it was. It was an amazing time.
