"A classic, slightly grungy Ninth Ward neighborhood dive, Bud Rips surprises with two elevated frozen drinks when the heat hits: A frozen whiskey sour, infused with refreshing passionfruit and topped with a red wine floater, and a slightly spicy, refreshing green drink, made with mezcal, cucumbers, and jalapeno. The frozen machine has been up and running consistently for some time now, but if it happens to be broken when you visit, don’t fret — Sneaky Pickle across the street, or the Joint a few blocks downriver will have you covered." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
