“Breakfast at Brennan’s” started as an answer to Dinner at Antoine’s, the 1947 Frances Parkinson Keyes murder mystery that bookends its drama with dinner parties at Antoine’s restaurant in New Orleans. Opened by legendary NoLa restaurateur, Ella Brennan, Brennan’s invented brunch. Yes, it’s true. And along with its conception came a host of eye-opener cocktails including classics like Brandy Milk Punch, a mouth-coating mix of French brandy, sugared-up cream and fresh nutmeg.
