Mardi Gras Distiller Dinner at Brookland's Finest

To celebrate Mardi Gras on February 13th, Executive Chef and Co-Owner Shannan Troncoso and Sous Chef Inma Bonnareli of Brookland’s Finest have created a special dinner menu with festive specials featuring local spirits from One Eight Distilling.

Louisiana cuisine will be the focus of the menu, with a special nod to locally crafted spirits from Ivy City-based One Eight Distilling. The first course features Crispy Frog Legs with Remoulade Sauce paired with a rosemary infused Gin Rickey. Etouffée with Gulf shrimp, crawfish, and andouille sausage is the second course, which will be paired with a play on a French 75 made with Verbena Infused District Made Vodka. For dessert, guests will enjoy Bananas Foster Beignets with chocolate ganache and fresh fruit served alongside a Sazerac made with Rock Creek Rye.

The full menu, available for $35 per person, can be found here. Brookland’s Finest is located at 3126 12th Street NE. For more information, visit www.brooklandsfinest.com and follow on Instagram @brooklands_finest and Facebook: facebook.com/brooklandsfinest.
