Be classy this Mardi Gras - have a CREOLE COCKTAIL! (and leave your clothes on)

Today we're making the Creole Cocktail - a classy drink to help you celebrate Mardi Gras! It might not be as popular as its New Orleans cousins (Vieux Carré, Sazerac, etc), but I enjoy it just as much. The original recipe called for a french bitter called Amer Picon - but due to lack of availability, I replace it with amaro and orange bitters. Give this variation a try and enjoy Fat Tuesday in style. Cheers everyone!
