I found this drink recipe at Cocktail Times that features a local bartender in New Orleans.

"I have been working at The Court of Two Sisters for 38 years," says Flo Woodard, creator of the Mojito-inspired cocktail Crescent City Cooler. "The Court is where I gained the experience I have behind the bar."
