New Orleans Original Daiquiris

Uptown, St Charles Ave, New Orleans · Bar · $

Louisiana is the only state where a drive-through frozen cocktail is normal, on the legal reasoning that a lid with tape over the straw hole counts as a sealed container. This St. Charles Avenue location runs a wall of machines, and the one everybody points at is 190 Octane, a blue-green blend strong enough to earn the name. Swirling two flavors into one cup is standard practice here, not a special request.
