🍷🧀 ENJOY WINE, CHEESE, & JAZZ IN THIS NEW ORLEANS BACKYARD 🧀🍷

I have a long list of “must-visit” places I have to run through each time I visit New Orleans, and bacchanalwine is at the top of that list.

This outdoor venue in the Marigny offers amazing live music (often jazz), a well-curated cheese and meat selection, and thoughtfully chosen wines.

Buy a bottle or two in the shop, grab your glasses and fill your ice bucket, then settle into the backyard for the afternoon. You can also pick some cheeses inside and they’ll plate what you get and deliver it to your table. (Think of them as cheese fairies.) 🧀🍷🥖

🍹 THREE COCKTAIL EXPERIENCES UNDER ONE ROOF IN

🍹 THREE COCKTAIL EXPERIENCES UNDER ONE ROOF IN SAVANNAH 🍸

I just visited Savannah for a night on the way to a family trip, and I was absolutely delighted to stay and drink around thealidahotel.

I started with a Lion’s Tail (bourbon, lime, allspice, simple, bitters) at The Trade Room, their amped up lobby bar that also had the most amazing light at golden hour. While the light was perfect, I took the cocktail to my room to give the little window seat complete with a makeshift table.

To start our night, we headed up to the rooftop to take in the sunset at TheLostSquare_—the view is really striking and the bartenders shake a mean cocktail. I enjoyed a custom drink made by Melvin (who you may see on the hotel intro channel), and it was absolutely perfect.

For breakfast we stopped into DiningWithRhett for a quick bite to get us jump started, and I (of course) asked for an espresso martini. (After all, I was on “vacation”.) As it turns out, they don’t always offer them, but they made it happen for me … and I’m so glad they did as it was shaken perfectly and helped start my day with a real kick.

A real highlight was the water stations they offer—choose from sparkling, chilled, or ambient water and use the cute bottle they provide you at checkin! Talk bout a nightcap. 🚰

I was sad to miss the chance to experience the pool bar, but it looks like it’s worth a visit!

The hotel itself is top notch—it’s a #travelandleisure top 500 hotel, and for good reason. It’s the embodiment of southern hospitality from the second you pull up to their courteous valets to the restaurant staff who go above and beyond to make your visit special.

🍍🍹 MISSING MAUI 🍹🍍

I had a great happy hour earlier this week with some new friends from oceanvodka—founder, Shay Smith, and CMO, Jim Grannan. We drank their organic vodka and shared our Hawaii adventures, and it made me made me miss the island more than usual (bc it’s a lot more fun to be doing my job from Hawaii than Dallas).

Then I thought of this absolutely delicious Hawaiian cooler I made when I was on Maui. And, since we can get ocean vodka on the mainland and lilikoi syrup can be subbed with passion fruit and key limes for the calamansi limes, I thought I’d share this recipe again!

1.5 oz oceanvodka
.5 lilikoi syrup
.25 oz calamansi lime juice
Top with pineapple water (water that has had pineapple pieces resting in if for at least 12 hours)

I’m heading to Georgia to meet family and, in true Susie fashion, I needed a stellar cocktail for the plane. rachaelthewino suggested a peach smash, and she was right on.

PEACH SMASH

.5 oz simple syrup
.25 oz lemon juice (we used truelemon packets)
1/2 peach, sliced

Big thanks to aaronsaginaw for doing my grocery run since my departure day got jumbled! You’re a peach, bro.

🎉 I QUIT MY JOB SIX YEARS AGO TODAY 🎉
… I can’t say every minute of owning my own business has been easy or perfect, but it has been worth it. I’ve gotten to experience some really extraordinary things, and surely have more escapades ahead.

So what’s on the books for the next six years? I’m launching a new website that y’all are going to absolutely love (🤞🏼), and I plan to do a lot more travel and booze writing. So here’s to another six years of adventures!

🍋🥃 SIDECAR RECIPE 🍋🥃

I pretended to be a bartender for a video my friend had to put together last month … thought I’d share the great view with y’all.

—

The Sidecar, a classic cocktail out of New Orleans, and is perhaps one of the first cocktail I remember hearing about in my childhood. Incredibly simple–brandy, lemon, and triple sec.

The Sidecar has seen many offshoots, but is said to have come from the Brandy Crusta. It’s disputed to have been created at either Harry’s Bar in Paris or Buck’s Club in London–either way, it has been mentioned in just about every cocktail book since World War I. Wherever it came from, its ingredients have remained constant.

THE SIDECAR
1.5oz brandy  .75oz fresh lemon juice .75oz triple sec

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice then shake until well chilled. Strain into sugar-rimmed glass.

Garnish: sugar rim, orange twist (optional) Glass: martini or coupe

🍹 A MUST-VISIT HAVANA-ESQUE BAR IN NOLA 🍹
I can’t leave New Orleans without visiting a handful of places, and caneandtable is toward the top of that list!

This relaxed outer-French Quarter craft bar has Cuba vibes and creative cocktails with a slight tropical slant. Their r(h)um selection is well curated and their staff is knowledgeable and can make educated suggestions on which runs you’d enjoy.

Stick around for a meal as their food menu offers eclectic options with fresh seafood. 🦐

🥃🍹 TAKE HOME THE BIG EASY’S CLASSIEST SOUVENIR 🍸🍷

Want to take home the classiest souvenir you can find in New Orleans? Ignore the corny t-shirts, beads, and shot glasses … stop into Vintage 329 located in the New Orleans’s historic French Quarter at 329 Royal Street and pick out a vintage glassware set to take home!

You can find full sets of antique glassware, boozy games, antique bar tools, and other drinking art and accoutrement in the back room of this antique shop. Prices aren’t cheap, but full, pristine sets with history like this are hard to find. And shopvintage329 provides you some the provenance of the set along with the set’s “age”.

Thanks for showing me this great spot, reyna_david!! #neworleans

🍹TALES DAY 3-6 LOOKBACK 🍸 Tales of the Cock

🍹TALES DAY 3-6 LOOKBACK 🍸

Tales of the Cocktail ended last Thursday, but I’m just now recovering! Our industry came together in spectacular style and there were some really extraordinary parties and experiences to be had.

Until next year, #totc2022! HAPPY TALES TO YOU!

🐇🥃 TALES DAY 2 … 🍻🫧
I started off #totc2022 with my PIC for the day, garnish_girl, enjoying some exquisite martellofficial cocktails by remy_savage_ at Bar Marilou, then hopped over to a literal fantasy playground put together by hendricksgin. This year’s Hendrick’s pop-up, House of Wonders, offered a dramatic tour to “meet the family”, a “Cuke Shack”, pinky massages, and tarot card readings. (My reading was terrifyingly accurate.)

The day continued with a visit to the collectif1806 house to try some new expressions, and then we were off to a tropical pop-up c/o monin_usa and angosturahouse by some of my favorites, beautifulbooze and littlelanemedia at arnaudsnola.

Dinner was a trip down the rabbit hole with, of course, rabbithole, hosted by the inimitable kzrabbithole. When the dinner at comperelapin started with a lineup of 20 Ramos gin fizzes, we knew we were in for an amazing evening.

The evening offered up the Bacardí portfolio party and then the monkeyshoulder disco party where we were served scotch cocktails from a cement mixer. The night was capped off by the traditional usbgdallas Texas Toast in front of the Old Absinthe House.

Just writing that was exhausting, so you can imagine how long these days get!!

Day 3 coming at y’all tomorrow!
