You can’t picture New Orleans without imagining jazz wafting up from the French Quarter. Bartender Brooke Flaherty had that in mind when she teamed up with Southern Comfort and local band Ted Hefko and The Thousandaires to create her Creole Comfort cocktail, saying, “I thought about all aspects of New Orleans, from the people to the places, to the art and the music. It even tastes like New Orleans.”
