Craft three NewOrleans cocktails with a certified mixologist

At my bar and restaurant, JusTini's, I’ll guide you through the process of crafting three New Orleans cocktails: a classic cocktail, a beloved New Orleans favorite, and a creative concoction. You’ll learn the art of cocktail creation with hands-on experience and uncover the rich stories and secrets behind each drink. • Start with a mix and mingle session, enjoying small bites. I’ll introduce you to the essential bar tools you’ll be using before we dive into the history and a hands-on lesson in making a classic Sazerac. • Next, we’ll explore the New Orleans Original Hurricane, a local staple, with another demonstration and some cultural context. • Finally, we’ll create the French 75, a sophisticated cocktail, with insights into its origins. After a Q&A session, we’ll celebrate your new skills with a second line exit, where you’ll parade out of the venue, waving handkerchiefs or umbrellas while brass band music recordings play.

Spirits - The Cocktail And Ghost Crawl

I found my success as a guide, with a belief that the best tours are craft, even a bit of art. Let me help you connect with the great city of New Orleans, by sharing tales of old and examining its drinking legacy. We’ll walk cobbled alleys, and listen to ghost stories as classic as the libations you'll be sipping upon. I've created an evening of documented ghosts, city history, drinking yarns, and Voodoo. I'll tie it all together into a cohesive experience of chills, laughs, and must-have drink suggestions. This is still well-researched history, but made fun. Let me save you from the dull recitation of New Orleans' bullet points: I put on a show. Yet, there will be no capes, no blurry photos, and no vampire tales - fabricated to suck the blood from your wallet. I use stories that are historically sourced – which makes this tour far more frightening. By using actual stories, from the cultures that created this city, you will begin to unravel what makes New Orleans so special. This event is an alternative to the stock NOLA ghost tour or haunted pub crawl, you've been endlessly scrolling through. The tour is designed for the curious, people who wish to understand the places they visit and share drinks with fellow travelers. Don't confuse this with the party-crawls. This is a professional drinking event - a genuinely full tour. Drinks are extra & not required : Size 15

History of the Queer Underground French Quarter Tour

A 2 hour deep dive into the joy, heartbreak, and history of the New Orleans Queer Underground from the 1850s to the present. Follow the stories of sex worker street gangs, drag queens working for the mafia, jazz artists, and the queer community of today to discover the ways the queer underbelly of New Orleans has shaped the history of the entire world. This tour unapologetically centers the least respectable women and queer people possible for a bottom-up history of the sex in the city-celebrating their agency, creativity, joy, and brilliance in the face of some of the worst conditions you can possibly imagine without shame or judgment. With over 900 five star reviews, calling the tour “hilarious”, “deeply researched”, and “a life changing experience”, the tour restores New Orleans to its rightful place in Queer History as one of the most dynamic cultures shaping what it even means to be queer.This tour will have you leave knowing that every time you hit a dance floor, tip a performer, or walk through the street proudly, you are participating in a worldwide, generations-long history of resistance. Or at least you can tell yourself that. All tours are led by artist, G-list Tiktok celebrity, community organizer, and alleged spirit medium Quinn L Bishop. This tour was previously run under the name Nola Drag Tours

Hoodoo, Voodoo and a Bottle of Rum

A short walk through Congo Square culminating in a talk at my studio in the Treme neighborhood about Hoodoo, Voodoo, Black Carnival Traditions, the deeds and misdeeds of my own Louisiana Creole ancestors and other lesser known aspects of New Orleans history and culture. In my studio rum bar you will enjoy a shot of rum and a chance to check out my art and black masking Indian attire. My house has long been a place where friends come to ground themselves in the cultural vibration of the city. I am so excited to now share this experience with you! GREAT FOR GROUPS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL TRAVELERS!! Other things to note: THIS IS NOT A TOUR. It’s not focused on site seeing but rather an EXPERIENCE that uses a few sites as a backdrop, so if you are looking for a site seeing tour this will not meet your expectations. With that said, while the majority of my presentation will be at my studio, we will also walk the equivalent of six blocks through the park and stand in one place for long periods. Please wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated because the heat can be oppressive, especially in the summer. BTW - NO PHOTOS of my studio or myself are allowed, thank U.
