New Orleans Special

It's been a while but we're back and we're super excited to be focusing on one of our favourite cocktail cities, New Orleans.

Both of our products are deeply rooted in New Orleans and the official cocktail of the city, the Sazerac. First up, we have Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey, followed by Sazerac De Forge Cognac, produced in small batches and made in the same way it was 200 years ago.

In our first episode of the season, we're spoiling you with two books: one is New Orleans Cocktails – An Elegant Collection of Over 100 Recipes Inspired By The Big Easy by Sarah Baird, focusing on the drinks and City Eats New Orleans – 50+ Recipes From The Best Of The Big Easy by Beth D'Addono all about the fabulous food.

And we've gone for four bars, all of them renowned for a specific cocktail: Napoleon House (Pimm's Cup), Carousel Bar (Vieux Carré), Sazerac Bar (the Sazerac) and Arnaud's (French 75).

Lastly, we check in with Chris Hannah, regarded as the face of hospitality in New Orleans. We hear about his 14 years at the French 75 Bar at Arnaud's, his move to set up the award-winning bar Jewel of the South and his love of jazz plus plenty more.
