(Fri/ Sat). Paul is an icon in my town and even if it’s just me who thinks so. It’s my favorite sazerac in town. His Angostura Phosphate is amazing, best cocktail in town.

The godfather of our New Orleanian cocktail mafia. It is important to have a cocktail from McMillian when in New Orleans. You’ll be able to say you have for the rest of your life, it will be one of your favorite cocktail experiences to talk to him while quaffing.
