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\u2019s and Brennan\u2019s, 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\u2019s 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\u2019re embracing the motto of New Orleans – \u201cLaissez les bon temps rouler\u201d or \u201cLet the good times roll\u201d – and diving into 9 of the best cocktails in New Orleans and where to drink them.

Sazerac at Sazerac Bar – 130 Roosevelt Way, New Orleans<\/em><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Born and bred in the Big Easy, the Sazerac may just be the official cocktail of New Orleans. Legend says the Sazerac cocktail was the first cocktail ever made<\/a><\/strong> and it was invented by Antoine Am\u00e9d\u00e9e Peychaud at his pharmacy on Royal Street in New Orleans. The original concoction was made with two locally made ingredients –\u00a0 Peychaud\u2019s bitters and brandy. Peychaud created the bitters around 1830 as a medicinal tonic and the cocktail became a crowd favourite at the Sazerac Coffee House on Exchange Place in the French Quarter.<\/p>\n

A few decades later, in 1870, the main ingredient in the Sazerac was changed to rye whiskey to suit the changing tastes of drinkers at the time. Then, in 1934, they added Herbsaint to the cocktail. This anise-flavoured liqueur was originally created as a substitute for absinthe in New Orleans in 1934. J. Marion Legendre and Reginald Parker invented Herbsaint, after learning how to make absinthe in France in WWI.<\/p>\n

Today you can get an authentic Sazerac in a Herbsaint-rinsed glass with bourbon or rye whiskey, a dash of Peychaud\u2019s bitters, a sugar cube, and a lemon peel. But where to get it? While Sazeracs are served in bars all over the city, you\u2019ve got to drink one at the swanky Sazerac Bar in the historic Roosevelt Hotel. This award-winning hotel bar is so dedicated to this iconic New Orleans cocktail they\u2019re named for it, and you won\u2019t find a better Sazerac in the city.<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Br\u00fblot at Antoine’s – 713 St Louis St, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you like to mix your coffee with your liqueur, this is one of the best cocktails in New Orleans for you. It was invented in the 1890s at Antoine\u2019s Restaurant in the French Quarter by Jules Alciatore, son of the legendary restaurant founder Antoine Alciatore. The flaming cocktail quickly became popular during the Prohibition era as the coffee was the perfect way to hide the alcohol within the drink.<\/p>\n

A Caf\u00e9 Br\u00fblot is made with cognac, Cointreau or Grand Marnier, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, dark brown sugar, and New Orleans chicory coffee, but it\u2019s more than just a cocktail – it\u2019s a performance. The blazing drink is prepared tableside with much showmanship, as the waiter will make it in a special br\u00fblot while expertly burning the orange peel in a single spiral.<\/p>\n

If you want to see this brilliant show, you\u2019ve got to head to the place where it all began – Antoine\u2019s. This fifth-generation family-owned restaurant is now over 180 years old and if the history doesn\u2019t pull you in, the irresistible scents of coffee, brandy and smouldering citrus definitely will. The grand restaurant even has 14 different dining rooms, each with its own unique history and decor, so you\u2019re sure to have an unforgettable experience here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brandy Milk Punch at Brennan’s – 417 Royal St, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With a history dating all the way back to the 17th century, Brandy Milk Punch is one ancient cocktail. One of the first recorded versions appeared in 1862 in Jerry Thomas\u2019 first-ever bartender\u2019s guide. And while the drink wasn\u2019t invented in the Big Easy, it\u2019s very much a part of New Orleans\u2019 cocktail culture.<\/p>\n

The cocktail first emerged in New Orleans in the 1940s. The story goes that famous restaurateur Antoine Alciatore and several other owners of bars and restaurants would gather to play poker. One of those people was Owen Brennan, owner of a bar on Bourbon Street. His friends made a bet with Brennan that he couldn\u2019t open a restaurant as well. Someone remarked, \u201cIf there\u2019s dinner at Antoine\u2019s, why can\u2019t there be breakfast at Brennan\u2019s<\/a><\/strong>?\u201d This led to the idea of a late and leisurely breakfast – or the modern-day brunch. Cocktails had to be a part of this breakfast tradition, so Brennan chose the Brandy Milk Punch cocktail.<\/p>\n

Made with the star ingredients – brandy and milk – along with nutmeg, vanilla extract and powdered sugar, this is a true local favourite. You can even add rum and egg for a heartier drink. Of course, the best place for Brandy Milk Punch is still Brennan\u2019s. Or you could head to Bourbon House to try a spin on the classic – their frozen Bourbon Milk Punch.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Ramos Gin Fizz at Sazerac Bar – 130 Roosevelt Way, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Ramos Gin Fizz is another icon of New Orleans, having been invented right here in the Big Easy. It was first created by Henry C. Ramos in 1888 at his bar, the Imperial Cabinet Saloon. He made it with a winning combo of gin, egg whites, orange flower water, lemon and lime juice, sugar, and cream, but the secret to his recipe was that it called for 12 minutes of vigorous shaking.<\/p>\n

When Henry started a new bar called The Stag in 1907, he brought the cocktail with him – along with a team of shakers to help make the classic drink. The shakers stood in a line and each shook it for a minute before passing it down the line. Once it was shaken up, they\u2019d add a dash of soda water to get that signature fizz.<\/p>\n

Decades later, after Prohibition ended, the Roosevelt Hotel bought the rights to the drink from Henry C. Ramos\u2019 son. While Henry had originally called the cocktail the New Orleans Fizz, the hotel honoured Henry by renaming it the Ramos Gin Fizz.<\/p>\n

The Sazerac Bar in the Roosevelt Hotel is still one of the best places to try this silky drink, so why not order one after trying their famous Sazerac cocktail. They also make a superb Ramos Gin Fizz at the Bar Tonique, Arnaud\u2019s French 75 Bar, or Carousel Bar. Make sure you\u2019re not in a hurry though, as this is one cocktail that needs a lot of time to make perfectly – although we can assure you it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Vieux Carr\u00e9 at Carousel Bar – 214 Royal St, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Famed as the French Quarter cocktail, the Vieux Carr\u00e9 is undoubtedly one of the best cocktails in New Orleans. The name (pronounced \u201cVOO ka-RAY\u201d) translates from French to \u201cOld Square\u201d, an old name for the French Quarter in New Orleans. It was invented here in the 1930s at Hotel Monteleone by head bartender Walter Bergeron. Walter combined cognac, rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, B\u00e9n\u00e9dictine, Angostura bitters, and the home-grown Peychaud\u2019s bitters – and the resulting drink certainly packs a punch.<\/p>\n

The best place to enjoy this cocktail is in the same place it was invented – Hotel Monteleone. The hotel\u2019s cocktail lounge where Walter first made the Vieux Carr\u00e9 has been known as the Carousel Bar since 1949. The bar not only makes the best Vieux Carr\u00e9, but it also has a famous menu serving classic New Orleans cocktails like the Ramos Gin Fizz and Brandy Milk Punch.<\/p>\n

But the cocktails aren\u2019t the only star here. The Carousel Bar is aptly named as it\u2019s centred around a large vintage rotating carousel where you sit to enjoy your drinks. You\u2019ll slowly revolve around, taking in the old-world glamour and atmosphere – and it\u2019s a classic New Orleans experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hurricane at Pat O’Brien’s Bar – 718 St Peter St, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200bJimmy Buffet once sang, \u201cPour me something tall and strong. Make it a hurricane, before I go insane.\u201d He was talking about the legendary Hurricane drink, invented right here in New Orleans at Pat O\u2019Brien\u2019s Bar.<\/p>\n

The bartenders of Pat O\u2019Brien\u2019s Bar first created the Hurricane<\/a><\/strong> in the 1940s after Prohibition ended. There was too much rum going around and Pat O\u2019Brien\u2019s liquor distributor would only sell them other popular liquors like scotch whiskey if they took large quantities of rum. To help get rid of the excess rum, they concocted the Hurricane, a powerful cocktail made of rum, lemon juice, and passionfruit syrup. They served it in hurricane lamp-shaped glasses and it ended up being their most popular cocktail.<\/p>\n

Today, it\u2019s one of the most famous New Orleans drinks and the best place to try it is still Pat O\u2019Brien\u2019s. You can still get it in an iconic hurricane lamp-shaped glass and the modern-day version also has a dash of grenadine and a cherry or orange slice garnish. This beloved bar is famous for more than just cocktails though. You\u2019ll love kicking back in the courtyard by the flaming fountain while listening to duelling piano music.<\/p>\n

Absinthe Frapp\u00e9 at the Old Absinthe House – 240 Bourbon St, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Invented in the 1860s by head bartender \u200b\u200bCayetano Ferrer at Aleix Coffee House, the Absinthe Frapp\u00e9 is one of the best cocktails in New Orleans. In fact, the drink was so popular that Aleix Coffee House was renamed the Absinthe Room by the new owner Cayetano Ferrer after the cocktail was created.<\/p>\n

The bar is now known as the Old Absinthe House and you can still enjoy this simple yet potent cocktail here. It\u2019s made with absinthe, rich syrup, chilled soda water, and optional anisette, and it comes in a bright neon green colour. But don\u2019t let the mesmerising colour fool you – this cocktail\u2019s main ingredient, absinthe, has up to 70% ABV, so you\u2019ll want to pace yourself.<\/p>\n

While you sip your cocktails at the Old Absinthe House, don\u2019t forget to take in the history of this charming institution. The original bar opened in 1807 and it was here that Andrew Jackson and the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte planned their strategy in the Battle of New Orleans. You\u2019ll also be walking in the footsteps of many famous figures who have enjoyed a drink here including Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, General Lee, P.T. Barnum, and Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau.<\/p>\n

French 75 at Arnaud\u2019s French 75 Bar – 813 Bienville St, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

While the original version of the famous French 75 cocktail was invented in London\u2019s Savoy Hotel with gin and champagne, you\u2019ll find a slightly different version down in New Orleans. At the French 75 Bar, attached to the iconic Arnaud\u2019s restaurant, they make the signature cocktail with Mo\u00ebt & Chandon and cognac instead of gin since cognac is a French spirit. It\u2019s a toast to the city\u2019s French roots and Arnaud\u2019s has been perfecting their craft since 1918.<\/p>\n

The upscale atmosphere of Arnaud\u2019s makes it the perfect place to sip on the elegant French 75. Expect to be served your cocktail in a tall champagne flute, garnished with a twist of lemon peel. And with white-tuxedoed bartenders<\/a><\/strong>, love seats, and a wooden bar reclaimed from an antique store, a leisurely afternoon here will take you back in time to the heyday of the roaring 20s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pimm’s Cup at Napoleon House – 500 Chartres St, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The New Orleans locals have a knack for revamping classic British beverages – and the Pimm\u2019s Cup is no different. It\u2019s a beloved summer beverage in Britain, but it\u2019s made for a place like New Orleans, where it\u2019s hot almost all year round. Since the locals have been enjoying Pimm\u2019s Cup for almost a century, this British icon has become a treasured part of New Orleans\u2019 cocktail culture.<\/p>\n

The historic Napoleon House bar and restaurant first began serving the refreshing Pimm\u2019s Cup in the late 1940s. A savvy bartender at Napoleon House took the original Pimm\u2019s No. 1 Cup and gave it a makeover by adding lemonade, 7-Up, and a cucumber garnish.<\/p>\n

The building of Napoleon House has an interesting history too, as it was originally the home of Nicholas Girod, the mayor of New Orleans from 1812 to 1815. Nicholas kept the house ready for the French Emperor \u200b\u200bNapoleon Bonaparte, in the event he needed to escape France. While Napoleon never arrived in New Orleans, his namesake building is a beloved institution and the best place in the Big Easy to enjoy a Pimm\u2019s Cup. Cheers to that!<\/p>\n
