"The Obituary Cocktail"
"So you wake up in the morning and you check the obituary column and hey, guess what, your name is NOT in it. Yet another beautiful day stretches out before you after all. How shall we celebrate? How about a cocktail!? An Obituary Cocktail. The philosophy of the Obituary Cocktail is classic New Orleans. There is even a not-so-secret society of French Quarter residents who get their name this classic New Orleans cocktail. The Society’s name, as with the drink itself, evokes images of the classic secret societies of the Deep South, but given that members are prone to wearing T-Shirts that identify them as members, the reality of this “exclusive” club is something quite different."
