15 Iconic New Orleans Cocktails and Where to Find Them

"Created at the Old Absinthe House in the 1860s, this simple absinthe cocktail is as refreshing and flavorful as it ever was. In fact, the bar was known as the Absinthe Room after the cocktail was created, which eventually became the Old Absinthe House." - Eater Staff, Clair Lorell
