We are not sure of the exact history of this potent specialty drink, but we do know it has been served at Bryant's Cocktail Lounge since at least the 1950's, but probably before. The cocktail is Southern Comfort based, but the actual recipe remains a long held secret. In fact, we believe that only four people know the exact makeup of the secret ingredient that makes the Defrongue so tasty.
What makes the Defrongue unique is its reputation as an aphrodisiac. While some would joke that alcohol itself is an aphrodisiac, we believe there is something more to this drink. Maybe it is the heady, sweet flavor or the mystery of not knowing the secret ingredients that make this drink a potent partner to the woo. Regardless, this drink is so highly regarded that, during the 1950's, it inspired a poet to create on ode to the Defrongue cocktail. This poem was printed in a mini poem book and given to the customer lucky enough to be enjoying a Defrongue cocktail.
After many years, we re-released this amazing cocktail on Valentine's Day of 2009. You have the choice of enjoying this cocktail up or on the rocks (personally, I suggest enjoying it up, which was the traditional way of enjoying the Defrongue) and you even get a copy of the coveted poem book to take home.
