Sazerac Cocktail

Immersive Legacy Tour

Monday, July 20, 2026 - Saturday, July 25, 2026
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Step into the story of New Orleans’ most iconic cocktail with an immersive journey through the origins of the Sazerac. This guided experience invites guests to explore the evolution of flavor, culture, and craftsmanship that gave rise to a true classic. As you move through the museum floor, you’ll taste your way through history—beginning with the rich, aromatic notes of coffee liqueur. From there, discover the bright and bittersweet balance of bitters and soda, a nod to the early apothecary roots of cocktail culture. The journey continues with a guided choice: guests will select either Sazerac de Forge XO Cognac, honoring the original French spirit that defined the earliest Sazerac recipes, or Sazerac Rye, showcasing the bold, spicy character that came to shape the modern version of the drink. Your experience culminates in a perfectly crafted sample of the Sazerac cocktail itself, bringing together each element you’ve explored along the way. By the final sip, you won’t just taste the cocktail—you’ll understand the story behind it. This tour is perfect for curious drinkers, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking to experience New Orleans cocktail culture in a deeper, more interactive way

The Weller Classroom Experience

Friday, July 17, 2026 - Saturday, August 1, 2026
5:30 pm - 6:45 pm

Step into the story of one of bourbon’s most enduring families and discover how William Larue Weller helped pioneer the wheated style that would later inspire the Van Winkle legacy. This guided tasting explores four expressions—Special Reserve, CYPB, Full Proof, and Single Barrel—tracing Weller’s journey from the days of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery through the industry’s quiet decades of the 1970s and 1980s to its modern revival under Buffalo Trace. Guests will nose, taste, and compare each whiskey in an elegant classroom setting, uncovering how proof, age, and history intertwine to shape the signature richness of Weller and the heritage of American bourbon.
