These events celebrate the culture of New Orleans with live music and cocktails in The Collection’s beautiful French Quarter courtyard at 533 Royal Street. Admission is $10 or free for members of The Historic New Orleans Collection. (Household memberships begin at $35.)





Cocktails for the entire spring series will be sponsored by New Orleans’ own Sazerac Company, a leading U.S. spirits supplier, with the world’s most decorated distillery and a portfolio of award-winning brands. Founded in 1850, Sazerac has a long and rich tradition as an independent, family-owned, private company. In March, Sazerac will provide two products: Rain Organics Vodka and Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka. Rain Organics Vodka is handmade from scratch in small batches at Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is distilled exclusively from organic white corn. Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, produced by Firefly Distillery, will also be available.
