The Cocktail Renaissance

The Finest Pairings, Shaken and Stirred: New Orleans has Turned Cocktail Making into a Craft

In the city where the cocktail was invented and fine drinking has long been celebrated, New Orleans has gladly made space at the bar for the haute-cocktail renaissance of recent years. A host of establishments are known for pairing a carefully-swizzled beverage with the city’s unique brand of Southern hospitality.
