The Lambeth Walk Fizz

At James Beard award winning, NOLA inspired Brooklyn cocktail bar Maison Premiere, the set-dressing is taken to another plane. You don’t believe the place has been sitting on Bedford Avenue for ages. Instead you feel as if you’ve slipped through a wormhole to the French Quarter in the late 1800s. The bartenders wear three-piece vintage suits. The absinthe fountain is a near perfect replica of the one that once dripped in the Olde Absinthe House of New Orleans.

So strong is the room’s pre-industrial pull that when you feel the urge to reach for your phone, you check yourself. Nobody wants to be the party crasher from the wrong century.

Maison Premiere’s hospitality ethos is perhaps best exemplified by their Ramos Gin Fizz cocktail, an in-house original. This decadent ode to New Orleans culture gives the creamy Ramos Gin Fizz a tropical upgrade. With an absurd twelve ingredient build, the recipe reads as if it were translated from the documentation of a Willy Wonka experiment.
