New Orleans Original Daiquiris

Copy Link

There are more than 70 locations in the U.S. of this franchised daiquiri shop, but it all started here in New Orleans and one of the busiest (usually) spots is on Bourbon Street. Ok, the slushies have gobs of sugar, but New Orleans Original Daiquiris’ frozen margarita conjures up a thirsty day at Jazzfest — and who doesn’t want to think about that?

Bourrée

Bourrée, the sister restaurant of Boucherie, does daiquiris right — made fresh daily with seasonal ingredients. There’s always a special, but the frozen gin and tonic is usually on the menu, an upgrade to the traditional G&T that is pure brilliance. Transform your next family meal with some to go — they’re available from 12 ounces to a full gallon of goodness.

Café Navarre

Lakeview loves Cafe Navarre, an ideal neighborhood spot for breakfast, great sandwiches, kid-friendly items, and awesome entree salads. More unexpected perhaps is the extensive frozen drinks menu to be enjoyed on the fun back patio, a list that includes watermelon frosé, wildberry mojito, bellini, “froscrew,” and a skinny pina colada — among others. A summer dream setting.

Usually at the end of July, the French Quarter is overrun by bartenders, liquor brand ambassadors, and industry types in town for Tales of the Cocktail. The frozen Irish coffee at Erin Rose might as well be Tales’ office drink — so many attendees line up multiple times a day for the cooling pour. Even though it’s now being served out a window of the bar, it still is the best.

Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29

One of New Orleans’s preeminent bars and a leader in the national cocktail scene, it’s no surprise this famed French Quarter gathering spot for frozen drink aficionados.

Love this French Quarter ode to Havana’s El Floridita bar, with its creative cocktail list — best guava daiquiri on the planet and fantastic frozen libations. One of Manolito’s best signature cocktails is the Jazz Daiquiri — made with Jamaican rum, lime, agave nectar, Creme de Cacao, and coffee beans, said to be popular among musicians in Cuba in the 1960s and New Orleanians in the summer of 2021.

The classic R Bar offers a dimly lit respite from Frenchmen Street crowds, reasonable prices, pool tables, and locals drinking boilermakers. It also serves at least two amazing frozen drinks at a time — the frozen pineapple mojito is a staple, but the frozen agave gardens is next level, made with Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, cucumber juice, lemon Juice, jalapeno juice, and agave syrup.

The Frosita, for instance, is made with tequila, Campari, Dolin Dry Vermouth, Cocchi du Torino sweet vermouth, Orange, and bitters — quite bracing.

The Joint

Copy Link

Perhaps it’s an easily overlooked fact at this famed barbecue destination, but the frozen drinks at the Joint are great, too. They’re called daiquiris, but in New Orleans that doesn’t mean they are made with rum, so don’t be a pedant. There are two frozen daiquiris on offer everyday, and they switch out daily, but include flavors like blueberry mint mojito, passionfruit margarita, vodka pink lemonade, gin limeade, etc.

Daiquiri Paradise

Copy Link

Daiquiri Paradise started with this original spot in Chalmette, now also in Harvey and a new shop opening in Metairie on Labor Day. The recipes haven’t strayed since 1989 — the strawberry is made with real strawberries and rum, and the pina colada is a dreamy blend of cream of coconut, vanilla ice cream milk, pineapple juice, 151, and white rums. Order them both — that’s a strawberry colada — for the best of both worlds.
