The Best New Cocktail Bars in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Part speakeasy, part Filipino restaurant and witch bar, and part absinthe den — Tatlo offers an abundance of reasons to visit. Milkfish chef Cristina Quackenbush wants to bring back instinctive eating and drinking, with drinks meant to match the diner’s state of being. The Zodiaquiri is inspired by the zodiac season; Aunt Nan’s Old Fashioned is made with local rice whiskey and jackfruit and promises prosperity; and the Florida Water with gin, rose water, lavender, and citrus offers energy healing. But the bar’s absinthe cocktails are the stars of the drinks menu, made with 300-year-old water drips. The Golden Healer includes local Atelier Vie absinthe, ginger, turmeric, and lime for a digestive spiritual bath, while the Spell Breaker intends endings and rebirth via elderflower, pineapple, and calamansi." - Clair Lorell
