Ojen

Neal Bodenheimer & Cure (New Orleans)

Rocks Glass

Crushed

Ingredients

2 oz

Legendre Ojen
7 dashes

Peychaud's Bitters

More if adding orgeat or simple syrup
0.5 oz

Orgeat opt

Or simple syrup; optional, for richer texture

Instructions

Fill a rocks glass with crushed ice. Pour the Ojen over the ice, add four dashes of Peychaud's bitters, and swizzle to combine. Top with additional crushed ice, then finish with the remaining three dashes of Peychaud's. Continue swizzling until the exterior of the glass frosts. If using orgeat or simple syrup, increase the Peychaud's as needed.

About

A deceptively simple New Orleans swizzle built on Legendre Ojen, a locally beloved anise-flavored spirit, and Peychaud's bitters — the quintessential Carnival-season drink that's as dry and bracing as it is iconic.
