The Sazerac, the Hurricane, and the absinthe glass of Herbsaint are
among 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 a token of its history. In every bar-side toast or
street-corner daiquiri you can 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 illuminate the city's open
embrace of alcohol, both in religious and secular life, while
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 glossary of terms to aid drink
making and mixing, Lift Your Spirits honors the art of a good drink
in the city of good times.
