In the nineteenth century, most Americans didn\u2019t have electricity, or even indoor plumbing. But they sure knew how to party. That\u2019s the whole idea behind New Orleans\u2019 Cane & Table<\/a><\/strong><\/u>. Set in a centuries-old building on the less-touristy end of the French Quarter, the establishment from the talent behind Crescent City cocktail palace, Cure<\/strong><\/u><\/a>, features beverages inspired by the way Southerners were drinking in the 1800s.<\/p>\n

For special occasions, Cane & Table head bartender and managing partner Nick Detrich always mixes up a big bowl of punch. For Halloween this year, he served a classic with a great backstory: American Orange Punch<\/strong>. At Andrew Jackson\u2019s inauguration in 1829, the tale goes, the incoming President threw a White House reception so overrun by rowdy revelers that a Supreme Court justice referred to them as \u201cKing Mob.\u201d Only when White House staffers brought bowls of this punch out onto the lawn did the crowd exit the building, leaving behind thousands of dollars in damages.<\/p>\n

The secret to this punch is sherbet. But not the frozen dessert you may be thinking of. In the 1800s, sherbet meant a mix of citrus juice and oleo-saccharum, an elixir created by using sugar to extract the flavorful oils from citrus peels. In Detrich\u2019s American Orange Punch, the sherbet combines with rich porter beer and any kind of aged spirit\u2014rum and Cognac would have been traditional in Old Hickory\u2019s day, but bourbon or rye (or a mix of any of the above) work too\u2014to create a tasty libation that can keep the good times going all the way through fall and winter citrus season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
