  • Pimm’s Cup: Originating in England, the Pimm’s Cup became a staple of New Orleans culinary culture in the 1940s! It’s a bold and refreshing cocktail featuring bright, lemony flavors, plus Pimm’s No. 1, a delicious gin-based liqueur.

It’s a twist on a classic Old Fashioned and is made with a base of rye whiskey, brandy, or cognac. The glass itself is rinsed in absinthe or herbesaint, and decorated with a lemon peel garnish, giving this historic drink a pleasant aromatic finish.
  • Seasonal Beverage: At New Orleans School of Cooking, our chefs and bartenders are known for their innovative recipes and creativity in the kitchen! That’s why we feature a unique seasonal cocktail at each of our happy hour classes. Stop in today and see what they’re mixing up special for you!
