The Maison Mixology Class -508 Frenchmen St.,New Orleans, LA Marigny
Fortunately/or Unfortunately for us, this bar was directly across from our hotel.
The Maison is just what you expect in NOLA. Loud music, dancing, drinking, eating & learning to mix some concoctions that they love in NOLA and other places.
Our Mixology Class was upstairs. Learned how to mix Primm’s Cup, Hurricane, Sazaerac, and Vieux Carre…all excellent cocktails. So much fun and learned the history behind the drinks. Then got to drink them. Nice bartender. Was fun.
Our Mixology class was at the upstairs bar.
