This walking tour takes place in New Orleans’ French Quarter and lasts about three hours, covering approximately one mile on foot. It begins inside Patrick's Bar Vin, a wine bar next to a courtyard, where the guide provides an introduction to the history of cocktails in New Orleans and around the world while guests enjoy a grapefruit spiced Rum Punch inspired by 1600s English sailors. The group then walks to SoBou on Chartres Street to taste two classic pre-Civil War cocktails: the Sazerac, made from a 19th-century recipe and recognized as New Orleans’ official cocktail, and the Brandy Crusta, which includes brandy, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and bitters. Next, the tour continues along Royal Street to Peychaud's Bar in the Maison de Ville Hotel, where guests choose between two historic cocktails associated with the area’s cocktail heritage. On the way, the route passes by St. Louis Cathedral, one of the oldest active Catholic churches in the United States, and proceeds through Pirate's Alley. The final stop is the Bourbon "O" Jazz Bar inside the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, where the group samples the Roffignac highball cocktail, made with raspberry liqueur and brandy following a 19th-century recipe. The tour includes four cocktails, one at each venue, and ends at Bourbon "O" Bar, which offers live jazz nightly starting at 8 pm and a limited food menu. After the tour, participants may explore the nightlife on nearby Frenchmen Street independently if they wish.
