Drink Dat – Where and What to Drink in New Orleans
Do you ever wonder where the locals go for a cocktail in New Orleans? On today’s show, my guest, Elizabeth Pearce, helps answer that question for you!
Elizabeth is a storyteller, a cocktail historian, and a New Orleanian. She is the presenter of the Drink and Learn Tour, and the author of two books about drinking in New Orleans.
On today’s episode, we explore New Orleans through its bars and its cocktails. We not only cover where to get the best drinks, but we skim through nearly 300 years of New Orleans history along the way.
You’ll find lots of great places to visit, the history of some of the most famous drinks in New Orleans, and the importance of the go cup.
All this and more on today’s show!

I’ve listened to this podcast 3 times and each time I learn something different. I am visiting New Orleans the last week of June and will use the helpful information on great places to enjoy. Also we are going to take Elizabeth’s tour. Great information Mark!
I am addicted to your podcast and look forward to the next episode every two weeks.
By the way, you and your wife make a great team! Hope she will join you again.
Thank you Mark!
