A first look at my forthcoming Comic Book History of the Cocktail from the incomparable @alcademics.bsky.social. Thanks, Camper! www.alcoholprofessor.com/blog-posts/d...

We'll be there! www.louisianavintagefestival.com

Got a printed photo in the mail yesterday from Andrew Faulkner of @nolaspiritscomp.bsky.social: Dan Farber of Osocalis Distillery and I shaking off New Orleans heat with tropical libations at the always excellent @latitude29nola.bsky.social.

At @latitude29nola.bsky.social to buy my friend in Atlanta a super limited edition Tiki Bosco mug. But I'm not stopping here without some food and a couple drinks. #nolasky

Oh lawd it's coming and the animals are feeling it Yesterday we put a part of a rotten banana on the ledge outside the kitchen window for the geckos and tonight a teenage possum was out there eating the shit out of it and now it’s curled up and sleeping on the ledge. I'm crying

Happy Caturday

Wow!

Can you hear my dollars flying out of my wallet?

Beachbum Berry has a new illustrated timeline feature for Total Tiki Online customers on Trader Vic’s Fog Cutter!

Happy hour drinking at Latitude 29

NOLA’ing 🍹 @latitude29nola.bsky.social

Indeed!

The specs, as they often do for tiki drinks at home, come from @latitude29nola.bsky.social and @mdoudoroff.bsky.social’s Total Tiki app. Not an ad, just a handy app that brings together recipes on the fly from decades of Berry research in my pocket so I don’t have to double check the shelves.

Enough of the relentless self-promotion here's a shot of the ever-dapper Creamsicle Dreamboi, a cat who graces us with his presence occasionally and allows belly pets

Whoa. Yesterday was a trip. Thanks to everyone who did all the things to make this possible, but special heartfelt thanks to our delightful crew.

Thanks to everyone who helped bring recognition to the wonderful team we work with! #50BestBars

HEY CONSUMERS & FRIENDS We're been trying to figure out how to not raise prices (until we really really have to) and one of the line items we've found that might help is eliminating American Express from the credit cards we accept. What think youse and thanks

Hey, wouldja lookit that! The cover's up for my new book, due September 23rd. www.amazon.com/Comic-Book-H...

CLOSED TOMORROW Sunday 03/23 so our co-workers can attend a celebration of life for the late great Kevin Hayden who we miss every day and in every way.

Featuring some of my favorites

New recipe for May now available for Total Tiki, Total Tiki Online (and Total Mixology) customers: The Deep Six, straight from Beachbum Berry’s Latitude 29!

Assuming DC's not an out and out war zone on April 9 and that the Smithsonian hasn't been handed over to the Proud Boys for their HQ, I'll be there talking about the Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails. Come and say howdy! smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/pr...

It was indeed The Rise of the Superb Owl. Thanks you #colinrobinson #MarkProksch for sticking it out until the end

Speaking of rum, here's my episode with @latitude29nola.bsky.social tasting Gran's tiny bottle of Mount Gay Sugar Cane Brandy. Click the link to watch the video or read the transcript! We talk about the history of "liqueur rum" and see whether this bottle lives up to Jeff's memories from the 90s! 🍸

New Orleans has a Pableaux-shaped hole in it now (if we were at his table he would have loved the wordplay that would inevitably follow a statement like that)

The sounds on a landline between placing an International call and being connected. It was like an outtake from a forgotten ambient masterpiece

Closed Monday 01/06 and Tuesday 01/07. We wish everyone a peaceful and auspicious 12th Night.

R.I.P. Brenton Wood, who died today, January 3, 2025. Born Alfred Jesse Smith (July 26, 1941, Shreveport, LA), Wood had three Top Forty hit singles:"The Oogum Boogum Song" (peaking at #34 on the Billboard Hot 100), "Gimme Little Sign" (peaking at #9), and "Baby You Got It" (also peaking at #34).

We're reopening today.

A peek at the King's collection. Beachbum Berry from Latitude has the best tiki collection I've ever seen, including this rare Tiki Bob from Pontchartrain Beach #nola #neworleans #tiki #tikimug #tikihistory #pontchartrainbeach #lakepontchartrain

Many factors are chiseling away at my "Wille zum Leben/Will to live" (thanks Schopenhauer) but one of the top terribles that makes me want to fight my basic instinct to survive is why don't these mosquitos ever fuck off? Of course climate change but we've had freezes and they're RAGING.

12/28 is the finale for Sippin' Santa at Latitude 29, but you can still plan ahead for 2025 and scoop up Christmas merch `til 12th Night. Mahalo one and all for an amazing end to the year 🎅🌴

Ken came dressed for the occasion! Cocktails are on point as you'd expect from @latitude29nola.bsky.social 's bar!

“Might I?” my husband asked. I considered the question for 0.23 seconds. “I just very well might.” The Mai Tai: introduced to me by Armistead Maupin over 30 years ago but with verified specs from @latitude29nola.bsky.social. Sippin’ Safari is tiki canon. If you don’t it own it, rectify that.

This was a surprise! Sorry about the photo

When your lovely co-workers show up to the staff Holiday party with matching monkey garnish tattoos ❤️‍🔥🐒❣️ (also shout out to the Rusty Nail for a most memorable evening)

CLOSED TOMORROW Tuesday 12/10 cause it’s our last chance to get everything in order for the mad rush into the happiest of holidays and throw a party for our co-workers off premises! See you on Wednesday with two days worth of cheer hell yeah

Vintage Holiday image #2, a favorite

Very very much enjoyed our stop at #StRochMarket to enjoy some oysters and conversation at The Salted Pearl this evening! Thanks to Tiger for being a super host! We'll be back.

The annual dispensing of vintage holiday images has begun
