Famed as the cradle of civilised drinking, the city of New Orleans has spent centuries perfecting the art of the cocktail. From historic bars like the Sazerac Bar, Carousel Bar, Antoine’s and Brennan’s, to home-grown cocktails like the Sazerac, the Hurricane, and the Ramos Gin Fizz, there are few other places in the world that compare to the Big Easy’s cocktail culture. You can even visit the Museum of the American Cocktail in this fun-loving city. To celebrate World Cocktail Day on 13 May, we’re embracing the motto of New Orleans – “Laissez les bon temps rouler” or “Let the good times roll” – and diving into 9 of the best cocktails in New Orleans and where to drink them.
