by Kerri McCaffety

Stirred and poured together, they serve up the stories of New Orleans cultural stew along with the fabled origins of the world’s first cocktail. Many original recipes for unique area favorites like the Sazerac, as well as other historic drinks, are introduced with each bar featured. Take a bar tour of New Orleans with Kerri McCaffety and listen closely as she dispels erroneous bar folklore and reveals the romantic true stories that prove even more fascinating.
