The Museum of the American Cocktail, through its seminars, permanent exhibits,
publications, and outreach, actively involves professionals, scholars, and
visitors in the American Cocktail's history and continuing lore. Exhibits,
collections, and programs attuned to the rapidly changing, multicultural
population will be ever-evolving.
Museum Collections & Exhibitions
The Museum of the American Cocktail™ leads visitors through the fascinating
two hundred year history of the American Cocktail. At its exibit in famous New Orleans, The Museum of the American Cocktail™ contains a
mind-boggling collection of rare spirits, books, Prohibition-era literature
and music, vintage cocktail shakers, glassware, tools, gadgets and all manner
of cocktail memorabilia and photographs from the outstanding collections
of our founders and patrons. Larger-than-life reproductions enliven the
presentation and beckon visitors into the subject.
The museum also features multimedia presentations that bring cocktail
history to life with film clips, interactive displays, sounds, and songs.
Research Projects and Publications
Specifics of the cocktail's rich history and lore are being explored
in depth on an ongoing basis by the museum's founders, guest curators, outside
researchers, writers, and historians. The results of this research see publication
on a regular basis in Museum publications such as "Mixologist: The Journal
of The Museum of the American Cocktail," exhibition catalogues, and in original
works written by the world's top cocktail authorities.
A library of rare and out-of-print literature as well as modern titles
on the subjects of cocktails, spirits, and drinking in both paper and digital
form, will be made available for writers and researchers by subscription
on the Museum's website.
