The Sazerac, the Hurricane, and the absinthe glass of Herbsaint are among the many well-known creations native to New Orleanss longstanding drinking culture. But more than vehicles for alcohol, the cocktails and spirits that complement the citys culinary prowess are each a token of its history.

Williams, founder and director of the Southern Food and Beverage Institute, and world-renowned bartender Chris McMillian illuminate the citys open embrace of alcohol, both in religious and secular life, while delving into the myths, traditions, and personalities that have made New Orleans a destination for imbibing tourists and a mecca for mixologists.With over 40 cocktail recipes interspersed among nearly three hundred years of history, a sampling of premier cocktail bars in New Orleans, and a glossary of terms to aid drink making and mixing, Lift Your Spirits honors the art of a good drink in the city of good times.
