Our Favorites: Handcrafted Cocktail edition

When you’re in New Orleans, finding a drink isn’t a challenge but finding the perfectly blended handcrafted cocktail may be. So we’re making it easier with some of our favorite top shelve treats for you to taste while you’re in town!

The Bistreaux is a perfect place to get delicious handcrafted cocktails in a picturesque French Quarter courtyard complete with gorgeous flowers and majestic fountain.  Their 15 specialty cocktails are named after 15 staff members who’ve been with Maison Dupuy for 15 years or longer!

This tangy treat made with Absolut Mandrin vodka, Solerno, cayenne, orange juice and cranberry juice is one of our favorites!

Packing plenty of New Orleans flavor, this cocktail features Sailor Jerry Rum, grenadine, lemon, lime, pineapple and orange juice.

Larry’s Love Potion

You’ll feel like you’ve died and gone to heaven with Pinnacle Whipped vodka, Godiva White, milk, strawberry puree, and shaved chocolate.

With their new specialty drinks, Zea's Rotisserie and Grill is a great place to slowly sip a tasty beverage.

Z Rita

This smooth concoction is named Zea’s Rotisserie and Grill’s signature drink. It’s a margarita mixed with Tres Agaves Blanco tequila, agave nectar, and fresh squeezed lime juice.
