On this edition of The NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias, we once again speak to an author from the terrific book series “Iconic New Orleans Cocktails” by LSU Press. This time around, we talk with John DeMers, a native of New Orleans, who recently penned a book on the classic Vieux Carré cocktail.
We discuss the fascinating history of this important New Orleans drink and the folks connected to it. Invented by Walter Bergeron at the famous French Quarter hotel, the Hotel Monteleone, after Prohibition, the Vieux Carré’s story has roots stretching back long before. Of course, we talk about the drink itself, how it is made, and much more!

Hey All! I am proud and excited to announce that I have been chosen as the new president of the Raising Spirits Society – the charitable beneficiary and organizer of the New Orleans Bourbon Festival! Raising Spirits Society (RSS) is our new name with a new mission – providing resources, experiences, and opportunities in support of young adults in the hospitality industry.
Initially, our primary focus will be around the Greater New Orleans area with the hopes of growing from there. Additionally, we will seek to expand our partnerships and opportunities with brands, hospitality venues, and other non-profit organizations with a similar mission (I’ve already been hitting some of you up on that front!) Another important goal is to broaden and diversify our board and committees. Lastly (for now), we will be looking to increase our presence with year-round activities and programming while all still culminating, of course, with the festival during the third week of March.
I am honored to be entrusted with this role and look forward to building on the New Orleans Bourbon Festival, already one of the premier whiskey festivals on the planet, to push things even further with the Raising Spirits Society and our terrific partners present and future. Please feel free to hit me up to talk shop and stay tuned for more from the fest and RSS!
