Description

The Sazerac, the Hurricane, and the absinthe glass of Herbsaint are a few of the many well known creations native to New Orleans’s longstanding drinking culture. But more than vehicles for alcohol, the cocktails and spirits that complement the city’s culinary prowess are each and every a token of its history. In each bar-side toast or street-corner daiquiri you’ll find evidence of the people, politics, and convergence of ethnicities that drive the story of the Crescent City.
In Lift Your Spirits: A Celebratory History of Cocktail Culture in New Orleans, Elizabeth M. Williams, founder and director of the Southern Food and Beverage Institute, and world-renowned bartender Chris McMillian remove darkness from the city’s open embrace of alcohol, both in religious and secular life, whilst delving into the myths, traditions, and personalities that have made New Orleans a destination for imbibing tourists and a mecca for mixologists.
With over 40 cocktail recipes interspersed among nearly three hundred years of history, a sampling of premier cocktail bars in New Orleans, and a word list of terms to help drink making and mixing, Lift Your Spirits honors the art of a good drink within the city of good times.
