THINK YOU KNOW DRINKS? This is the place to test your knowledge or gain some. The Museum of the American Cocktail officially reopened in a clubby gallery inside the new Southern Food and Beverage Museum at Riverwalk Marketplace, just inside the Julia Street entrance. The Museum of the American Cocktail opened originally on the second floor of the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum in 2005, nine months before Hurricane Katrina. Board members removed the exhibit after the storm, and the museum was invited to open at the Commander's Palace Las Vegas in the Aladdin Resort & Casino. Now, the nonprofit cocktail museum is back to stay. For the past couple of months, the curator has been installing alcoholic beverage history in a timeline, with artifacts such as a 3,000-year-old Chinese wine cup; a tantalus, a decorative locking cage that held decanters and tantalized servants in the George Washington era; a collection of tiki cups; menus, cocktail-related music; first editions of the very first drinks book; artifacts from Prohibition, and much, much more. Visit our New Orleans links page for more information on this and other new Orleans attractions.		Sazerac - the quintessential New Orleans cocktail!
LEARN THE LINGO: NEW ORLEANS STYLE Sno-ball What most people might call a snow cone we call a Sno-ball…and it's as close as we get to snow in these parts. Basically its shaved ice (nearly powder) served with flavored syrups and most good stands use preservative-free syrups, mixed on the premises from extract, pure cane sugar and water. In New Orleans sno-balls serve a practical purpose, cooling you off on a summer day like nothing else can. Those of you in the north might throw 'em.....we eat 'em!		The sno-ball is truly a New Orleans creation!
