New Orleans Drinking Guide is Here! š¹
š Jewel of the South This famous bar is ranked among the Worldās 50 Best Bars and the birthplace of many classic cocktails. I posted a separate review about it beforeāif youāre a cocktail lover, this is a must-visit pilgrimage spot š„! š Peychaudās Also located in the French Quarter, itās a tiny, super chill bar. Here are two drinks I recommend: š¹ Vieux CarrĆ©: Iām obsessed with its aroma! It has a fresh lemon peel scent mixed with herbal notes. Thereās a bit more dilution, but the flavor balance is still on pointāso delicious. š¹ Ramos Gin Fizz: Itās served for two people minimum, but itās so worth it! Not too heavy, with a lovely orange blossom oil flavor, herbal gin, and cream. Itās a perfect, classic versionāhighly recommend! š Erin Rose Another spot in the French Quarter, this pub has an awesome vibe. Their frozen Irish coffee is pretty famous⦠but I tried it and found it unbearably sweetātasted like Oreo slushie ā. That said, if you just want to grab a beer, this is a great place to hang out š»! š Beachbum Berryās Latitude 29 A popular local tiki bar. Hereās a quick breakdown of the drinks we tried: š¹ Latitude 29: Packed with passion fruit flavor! It has vanilla and pineapple, so itās a bit sweet, but if you take a big sip, you can taste the orange notesāitās really fun. š¹ Paul of the Jungle: Sweeter upfront than the traditional Jungle Bird, with an herbal bitter finish. I still prefer the original version, though. š¹ Pontchartrain: Light and creamy at first sip, with a hint of honey. The spicy aftertaste is just rightāsuch an interesting drink! š¹ Bradās Banana Banshee: Itās like a boozy banana milkshake slushie, with strong banana bread vibes. But the alcohol doesnāt blend super well, and the finish is a bit harsh. The local bartender also recommended some other bars, but we didnāt have time to visit them all. If youāre interested, feel free to check them outāhappy sipping! š #NoBadDrinks #DiscoverHiddenBars #Cocktails #Bars #NewOrleans #NightcapVibes #AlcoholLovers #DrinkingDaily #BarHopping #ExploreBars
