NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Peacock Room is set to host a special event on Thursday, Dec. 5, celebrating the end of Prohibition and the arrival of the Roaring Twenties. Headlining the evening will be the soulful R&B duo Da Lovebirds, along with guest performer Anaïs St. John.
Da Lovebirds, the husband-and-wife duo of Robin Barnes and Pat Casey, bring a sultry, intimate vibe that will marry well with the music of the Roaring 20s, as will Anaïs’ jazz-infused stylings. Anaïs St. John is known for mastering jazz, opera, and musical theater. A native New Orleanian, Anaïs holds a master’s degree in vocal performance and has graced prestigious stages, including the Cabaret Conference at Yale University and the Sarteano Choral Conducting Workshop in Tuscany. Anaïs has also been recognized with nominations for the Big Easy Award and New Orleans Magazine’s “Top Female Achievers” list.
The cocktail bar will also serve dishes from Half Dozen Oysters on Ice to the Peacock Smash Burger. And, of course, for an event celebrating the repeal of Prohibition, expect the craft cocktails to delight, from the refreshing Jade Dragon and Another Place and Time with a slightly smoky scotch with nutty notes and rounded out with the sweetness of sherry.
Peacock Room also offers unique holiday cocktails through New Year’s Eve. These crafty creations include the Helekalikimaka, made with rum, apricot, yuzu curacao, spiced oolong orgeat, and lime. The Glitter End served in an ornament, features Bacardi Ocho, Tattersall Apple Pommeau, spiced cranberry, lemon, and glitter, of course. And Deck the Halls, made with vodka, amaretto, creme de cacao, cream, and sprinkles, is creamy, sweet, and playful.
