NEW ORLEANS – Mr. B’s Bistro says it is keeping guests cool with two new crafted seasonal cocktails that showcase the French Quarter institution’s commitment to quality ingredients and masterful execution.
The restaurant’s bar team has introduced the Blueberry Smash and the Eastbank Cocktail—two refreshing libations designed to provide the perfect respite from New Orleans’s summer heat.
Blueberry Smash features muddled fresh blueberries, premium Wheatley vodka, house-made blueberry syrup, and fresh lemon, served over ice in a Collins glass and garnished with fresh berries. Simple ingredients deliver serious flavor in this vibrant summer sipper.
The Eastbank Cocktail represents the bar team’s innovative approach to classic cocktail craftsmanship. Inspired by George Delgado’s Eastside Cocktail from the former Libation in New York City, Mr. B’s version features a 24-hour infusion of fresh cucumber in Beefeater London Dry Gin, allowing the cucumber’s freshness to balance with the gin’s bold juniper and citrus notes. The infused gin is shaken with house-made mint simple syrup and fresh lime juice, then strained into a Collins glass and topped with soda for a light and utterly refreshing cocktail.
“These cocktails embody our philosophy of ‘fine dining without the fuss,’” said owner Cindy Brennan. “We’re using premium spirits and house-made syrups, and the result is a laid-back, easy sipping, refreshing summer cocktail. Stop in and try one before the summer slips away!”
Both summer cocktails are available now through the end of the season during lunch, brunch, and dinner service.
