Super Bowl XLIV Cocktail: Who Dat Highball

Every Super Bowl party needs a signature cocktail! Here’s one for the Who Dat Nation. This gold highball is a twist on a classic New Orleans cocktail, the Roffignac. Go Saints!

Unlike many New Orleans cocktails, it’s easy to make in batches for a crowd. Just keep a mix of the cognac and syrup base in the fridge, and guests can pour themselves a drink and just top off with club soda.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz cognac
  • 1 oz apple-lemon syrup
  • club soda

Instructions

Fill highball glass with ice. Pour in cognac and syrup. Top off with club soda and garnish with a lemon wheel. *Apple-lemon syrup: (enough for 10 cocktails) 1 ½ cups water 1 apple–cored, peeled and cut into pieces zest of half a lemon (just the peel, no white pith) 1 cup sugar Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and boil. Strain out solids and pour the syrup into a container. Cool syrup and refrigerate. To make syrup last longer, add a 1/2 oz of vodka.
