Taste of Louisiana” at Bluewater Grill combines California-inspired versions of Gumbo and Crabcakes with specialized drinks designed to bring out the flavor and turn up the heat. Also featured are Bluewater Grill Oysters Rockefeller.
In honor of the celebration, Bluewater bartenders will pour the New Orleans Fizz, also known as the Ramos Gin Fizz, created in the late 1800s by New Orleans favorite son Henry C. Ramos. As legend has it, the cocktail became so popular that by the 1915 Mardi Gras celebrations, Ramos’ 35 “shaker boys” had trouble keeping up with demand. Bartenders at the six participating restaurants will be demonstrating the drink’s famous vigorous shaking ritual to give it its unique fizz.
The cost of the special pairing event is $29.95 per person, and advance reservations are required for seatings beginning at 6:30 p.m. Bluewater chefs and servers will be available to discuss the culinary and recipe possibilities of Cajun and Creole cuisines.
