Dream Cocktail

The drink for tonight was a 'Dream Cocktail' (from page 75 in the Bartender's Guide).

 The recipe:

3/4 oz Triple Sec (LeRoux)
1 1/2 oz Brandy (E&J XO)
1/4 teaspoon Anisette (LeRoux)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I used an orange slice for a garnish.

The drink was good; just a touch of the anisette flavor but not overpowering. Although not one of our all-time favorites, it was good enough to repeat.

The stuff simmering in the pot is a Louisiana dish; red beans and rice. Actually the rice is in another pot. It was good, too.
