The Long Shot
This Derby Day, ditch the ordinary julep and bet on a winner with The Long Shot from the team at Mister Mao in New Orleans.
“For Derby Day, we wanted something that tips its hat to tradition but still runs wild,” says Andrea Leibrandt, Bar Manager.
“This cocktail brings rich, oaky Buffalo Trace Kentucky bourbon to the forefront, but it’s the unexpected trio—Fernet’s herbal bite, creamy banana, and nutty orgeat—that makes it a true thoroughbred. A dash of Angostura and slap of mint on top, and you’ve got a julep with a winning streak.”
Preparation
Add all ingredients to a shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into a glass filled with crushed ice and add a dash of Angostura.
Top with a slap of fresh mint on top.
