Our first cocktail this evening is the Orange Brulée; a great-looking cream-topped dessert cocktail created by Xavier Laigle in 2005 at the Var le Forum in Paris, France.
I ran a poll recently about doing cream cocktails every week and the votes were fairly evenly spread, with yes coming out just ahead. I’ll probably not do every week due to the fairly even result, but for tonight I thought I’d open with a very tasty one with a layer of cream on the top rather than cream being mixed in. This is a very nice cocktail.
