Description

Your night of cultured imbibing begins as evening arrives in the French Quarter. Meet your lively guide and start your 3‐hour tour with a cocktail in a luxurious wine bar's tropical courtyard.  You begin the tour with the first popular drink containing booze: a homemade rum punch! Your second visit will be to 3rd Block Depot, a modern saloon in a 19th Century icehouse. There, you'll have one of two options: try the classic Sazerac, a recipe attributed to a Creole apothecarist in the 19th Century – when cocktails constituted as medicine! Or you have the option to enjoy another pre-Civil War drink: the Brandy Crusta! Then head to the award-winning Peychaud's Bar for creative cocktails invented just prior to Prohibition. Sample a refreshing Pimm's Cup, or the Carnival-time favorite, the Ojen Frappé. Your final stop is the Bourbon 'O' Bar for the obscure yet beloved Roffignac highball, a nod to the city’s last French‐born mayor. The last venue (Bourbon 'O' Bar) not only features local food but also a live local jazz band beginning at 8pm!
