Not your great grandfather's Gibson... This is an excellent spin on a classic cocktail (which seems to have more BS origin stories than a bourbon brand... it's the onion...) It features sotol (in place of gin), bianco vermouth, and a savory pickled shallot. Nice work by @chris_zulueta behind the stick at @sylvainneworleans! . . . . . . #NOLADrinks #podcast #drinkstagram #imbibegram #mixology #mixologist #mixologyart #imbibe #bartender #bartending #bartenderlife #cocktail #cocktails #classiccocktail #classiccocktails #eatnola #drinknola #nolaphotoguild #ItsYourNOLA #sotol

This was a really interesting and unexpected sojourn! After taping this week’s The #NOLADrinks Show (link in our bio!) with Jeff “Beachbum” Berry and David Wondrich, we wandered over to Belle Époque for a little peak. It’s the new, soon-to-be-open absinthe-themed lounge and restaurant in the French Quarter. It’s located behind the historic Old Absinthe House on Bourbon St. Laura Bellucci (pictured at left), who runs the beverage program, took us upstairs and shared some of their amazing vintage photos from the original bar, many dating back several decades and then some! It was amazing to watch Dave and Jeff date the photos by the liquor bottles captured in the pictures! Also, Dave (pictured at right), who has done extensive research on the Old Absinthe House recently, was thrilled to ID noted individuals in some of the pics. A plan is being put into place to preserve and catalog the photos. We’re sure they’ll be sharing them soon! Special shout-out to Sylvia Thompson-Dias of Sylvia T Designs (pictured, center), who was charged with designing and executing the aesthetic of this breathtaking space!
