New Orleans

New Orleans carries one of the world’s richest cocktail histories without allowing it to become static. Historic recipes, Creole surroundings and modern neighbourhood bars keep drinks such as the Brandy Crusta, Sazerac and French 75 alive as part of a working drinking culture rather than museum pieces.
