The funeral of the Redheaded Slut (photo by SG)
Every year at Tales of the Cocktail, there are delicious cocktails made by exceptionally talented bartenders. But there was one drink that the mixologists wanted to see gone, so…they killed it! The votes were tallied, and the drink that everyone wanted “dead” this year was the Redheaded Slut. This drink, traditionally made with Jagermeister, Peach Schnapps and cranberry juice, is put in the grave with last year’s Appletini.
A large crowed gathered at 11:30 pm on Saturday night to mark the send off of 2009 Tales…and the death of the Redheaded Slut. A eulogy was read, flowers were strewn across a casket and “mourners” danced in the street and bopped to jazz played by a fantastic band. Pallbearers laughed, and nuns did little jigs. A police escort paved the way, and many locals asked “Who died?” The concern that an important local figure had passed turned quickly to amusement as everyone joined in the parade. Starting at Harrah’s Casino, the parade snaked throughout the French quarter, ending at Latrobe’s on Royal for the Plymouth bartender breakfast. A perfect end to a perfect time in New Orleans!
