Frozen New Orleans Daiquiri History
Pierce: I’m here to tell you: how did this drink come about? It is the unofficial, if not the official drink of Mardi Gras. First, make a frozen daiquiri in a blender. The 1930s had really good blenders, and from the 1940s to his 50s, Americans fell in love with frozen drinks.
This is why restaurant owners in Texas in the 1970s tweaked their soft-serve ice cream machines to turn them around. To be able to mass-produce margaritas. The machine is at the Smithsonian and is an important part of American history.
These machines appeared in the original New Orleans Original Daiquiri shop on Bourbon Street in the 1980s. Americans are so excited to be able to come to New Orleans and walk the streets with their drinks. Want a martini or a fancy sazerac? No, I want something a little more informal and frankly festive, like Bourbon Street.
Why Mardi Gras? Well, Mardi Gras takes place outside. You’re waiting for a parade, or maybe you’re attending a parade, you’re surrounded by friends and family, and you need a drink to go with you.Maybe 5 gallons at a time. It can be shared.
Matt, have you ever had a New Orleans daiquiri?
Ray: No way.
Pierce: Yes, I’m telling you, it’s with Mardi Gras, it’s not just the outside part, it’s not just the batch part, it’s the colors that are so festive. Nothing seems more fitting than this drink.
