"Brandy Crusta | Crafted Pour"

"Did you know that “Mardi Gras” is French for “Fat Tuesday”? Neither did I! For those now in the know, Fat Tuesday marks the last day to eat delicious, decadent food and imbibe copious cocktails before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. It also marks the end of the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans and around the world. King Cakes are served, Sazeracs are sipped, and masked merrymakers flood the streets of NOLA in celebration. While Sazeracs, Vieux Carres, and Hurricanes are the standard cocktails, how about trying something new before the fun ends. The Brandy Crusta may be a lesser-known cocktail, but its origins are pure New Orleans. Happy Fat Tuesday! Cheers!", "undefined", "Brandy Crusta",
