Cocktail Tour: Brandy/Bourbon/Bitters/Ice ($5,300)

First time to the city? Welcome to New Orleans drinking 101, the perfect first stop to learn about the city’s layered and long history with libations. The tour will cover the rise of the French Quarter as an historic nexus for all things cocktail — how the city gave rise to famous drinks like the brandy crusty, absinthe frappe, Vieux Carre, Ramos gin fizz and Sazerac, and see some of the bars that made them famous. (Drinks purchased separately.)
