Chef Gary Garitson - The Pirate Chef
Time for another of the social lubricants, cocktail hour. Down here we take both food and drink quite seriously so you will discover recipes for both among the silicon social chatter. Today’s was created by one of my dearest friends, Chef Gary Garitson, who permanently relocated after Hurricane Katrina to Cincinnati, OH where he is the Executive Chef for Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouses.
The Pirate Chef’s “Big Easy”
A SoCo Manhattan, extra bitters and bruised
- 2 oz. Southern Comfort
- 1/2 oz. Sweet Vermouth
- 6 shakes Agnostura Bitters (only Agostura, no substitutions!)
- 1 ea. Marichino Cherry
Put everything in a cocktail shaker half full of ice. Shake. Bruise. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry. Repeat as needed.
Let him know what you think!
And remember kids, don’t drink and Tweet!
