Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Copeland's of New Orleans runs a beverage program that covers a lot of ground without losing its New Orleans footing. The cocktail list leans on signature and frozen martinis, an Old Fashioned built with Buffalo Trace, and a Hurricane made with Pat O'Brien's mix. A Blueberry Whiskey Smash with 1792 Bourbon and mint shows the kitchen-bar crossover. Wine spans multiple varietals by the glass and bottle, and a dedicated mocktail section gives non-drinkers real choices. Daily happy hour discounts signature martinis and well drinks.
- What should I order?
- The Blueberry Whiskey Smash, with 1792 Bourbon, blueberry syrup, lemon juice, simple syrup, and mint, is a $12 signature pour worth starting with. The Old Fashioned uses Buffalo Trace, Angostura bitters, Bada Bing cherries, and an orange wedge. For a frozen option, the Frozen Copeland's Colada or Frozen Spa Day are both $12.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups and families looking for a full bar that covers classic cocktails, frozen drinks, wine by the glass, and nonalcoholic mocktails in one place. Anyone who wants a New Orleans Hurricane or an Old Fashioned without a specialty-bar price tag will find the list accommodating.
- When should I go?
- Daily happy hour is the clear value window, with $2 off signature martinis, half-priced well drinks, and a $7.00 Crash & Burn. The mocktail list and lunch nonalcoholic upgrade make it a workable midday stop as well.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails and signature martinis run $12.00-$13.00, frozen martinis are $12.00, and the Crash & Burn is $11.00. Wine by the glass ranges from $7 to $14, with bottles from $22 to $42. Mocktails are $5.00-$9.00, and happy hour lowers several of those prices.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program pairs a full New Orleans cocktail repertoire, including a Hurricane with Pat O'Brien's mix and a frozen martini lineup, with a broad spirits section and a dedicated mocktail list. The daily happy hour applies discounts across martinis, well drinks, beer, and wine, which is a wide net for a single restaurant bar.
