The Ramos Gin Fizz

The classic cocktail elevates a standard Gin Fizz with the addition of lime juice, orange flower water, heavy cream, and an egg white. The end result is a creamy, delicious sip reminiscent of Key lime pie and orange Creamsicles.
The Sazerac
The history of the Sazerac is inseparable with some historians even claiming that the drink was America’s first cocktail. While there may be some debate regarding the beverage’s preferred spirit base, the majority of bartenders opt for whiskey, most commonly the Sazarac, as the cocktail’s name suggests. Made with rye — or Cognac, Demerara syrup, Peychaud’s bitters, and a lemon twist, the Sazerac is a boozy delight certain to spice you up.
The Hurricane
Hurricane was invented during Prohibition at Pat O’Brien’s while the bar was a speakeasy. It’s name, you ask? That comes from the two words patrons were required to whisper before they were granted entry to the establishment: “storm’s brewin’.” Today, the cocktail — which contains both light and dark rums, orange and lime juices, passion fruit puree, and grenadine.
The French 75
Invented in Paris at Harry’s New York Bar, world has adopted the cocktail as its own at establishments like the Frech 75 Bar. A refreshing combination of Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, Champagne, this vivacious glass of boozed-up bubbles will have you coming back, glass after glass. If you choose to imbibe on a French 75 while in the Big Easy, don’t be shocked if you see one made with Cognac instead of gin — that’s preferred down in the US.
The Grasshopper
The Grasshopper was invented by bartender Philip Guichet Sr., owner of Tujague’s, America’s oldest stand-up bar located in the heart of the French Quarter. Consisting of crème de menthe, white crème de cacao, and half and half, the refreshing after-dinner tipple is a deliciously minty treat with a bright green color.
The Vieux Carré
A boozy blend of rye, Cognac, Vermouth, Benedictine, and both Angostura and Peychaud’s bitters, the Vieux Carré is a New Orleans (USA) staple. Invented at the Carausel Bar in 1938, the cocktail’s very name nods to the historic city it calls home. It literally translates to “old square” and is a reference to North of Los Angeles’ (NOLA) French Quarter, where the Carousel Bar still stands today.
