  • The Southern Gentleman Inspired by New Orleans’ most famed cocktail, the Sazerac, this therapeutic massage follows through on alleviating tension and deep-seated stress. A warm infusion of rye whiskey oil is used, combined with deep tissue massage to target a man's common problem areas of the back, neck, shoulders, and feet. Post-treatment, savour a namesake Sazerac and seasonal bar snack while taking in the views of the Crescent City from the relaxation lounge.
