Cocktails<br />
Sure, Hurricanes might be the most<br />
well-known drinks in New Orleans<br />
these days, but the city was<br />
previously known for being one of<br />
the most cutting-edge destinations<br />
for mixology, a reputation it’s<br />
striving to get back. <strong>The</strong> Roosevelt<br />
Hotel’s Sazerac Bar, which played a<br />
major role in popularizing two<br />
iconic cocktails, the Sazerac <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Ramos Gin Fizz, is a great place to<br />
visit to get a glimpse of this history.<br />
If you’re in the mood for<br />
something more tropical, stop by<br />
Cane & Table, where a charming<br />
bar staff focuses on “proto-tiki”<br />
cocktails, which are Caribbean<br />
libations influenced by flavors from<br />
Spain, Africa <strong>and</strong> Asia. Try master<br />
mixologist Nick Detrich’s take on<br />
the mojito, the Stereo Taste, which<br />
has aquavit, rum, mint <strong>and</strong> caraway.<br />
Barrel Proof in the Lower<br />
Garden District stocks over 220<br />
different whiskeys, making this new<br />
boîte the perfect place to grab an<br />
Old Fashioned, though the talent<br />
behind the bar can whip up pretty<br />
much anything you want. Or just<br />
take a whiskey shot—after all, it’s<br />
New Orleans!<br />
