Rebennack

Chris Hannah, Arnaud's French 75 Bar | New Orleans

Before Mac Rebennack, the one-time King of Krewe du Vieux, threw a cup to Chris Hannah during the Mardi Gras festivities of 2010, this take on the De La Louisiane, was simply a nameless “fun flask cocktail.” In this rendition, Hannah swaps out Bénédictine for Rhum Clément’s Creole Shrubb, a more “rotund sweetener,” and trades in sweet vermouth for a dose of bitter Averna.
