Essential Mardi Gras Cocktails EP|329

from What We're Drinking with Dan Dunn · host Dan Dunn

Essential Mardi Gras Cocktails is a spirited, history-soaked romp through New Orleans drinking culture, with Dan joined by WWD’s official roving correspondent Brad Japhe and Abigail Gullo, Bar Director at Loa and a James Beard Award semifinalist. Together, they trace the roots of Mardi Gras itself before diving deep into the cocktails that define the season and the city: the Hurricane, Ramos Gin Fizz, Sidecar, French 75, Vieux Carré, Sazerac, Bourbon Milk Punch and a new instant classic that Abigail created. Along the way, they unpack technique, lore, and evolution, spotlighting featured spirits including Rabbit Hole Distillery Bourbon and Rye, Planteray Rum Three Stars and Original Dark Rum, Wilde Irish Gin, and Maison Ferrand’s Cognac 1840 Original Formula and Dry Curaçao. The result is equal parts cocktail masterclass, cultural history, and laid-back New Orleans hang. Perfect for anyone who likes their Mardi Gras with a little depth in the glass.
