Cocktails at the Museum

‘Grab yourself a cocktail from the bar if you like,’ the girl at the ticket desk says. ‘Sure you can take it in, we don’t mind.’ This is my kind of museum, but then we are in New Orleans, and we are visiting the American Cocktail Museum.

It celebrates the diversity of food and drink from the southern states of the USA, with 15 states and Washington DC all represented with their own displays. Housed in the former Dryades Market
