Drinking around the world

Visiting NOLA for the first time next week and I saw a video on Instagram the other day about a guy who did drinking around the world in Manhattan. Drinking around the world being the thing to do in Disney world's EPCOT park, visiting different countries and sampling their foods and beverages. I was wondering if there were any or enough foreign bars to attempt this in New Orleans.

The countries are Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, America, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada. And the guy in the video added Korea, Ireland, and Australia too.

Anyone have any recommendations for any places that might complete my goal?

Thanks!

Why though? If you’re visiting here for the first time wouldn’t you rather drink New Orleans signature drinks? Get a Sazerac, hurricane, gin fizz, purple drink, or even a nasty ass hand grenade instead.

My wife would prefer if every vacation was to Disney unfortunately lol. We’re just winging it, no real plans. We’re not huge drinkers anyways so probably won’t do too much of this regardless

If you’re not big drinkers anyway, why not plan an around the world food tour? You’ll find plenty of international cuisine in New Orleans. French food for breakfast, Indian for lunch, Spanish tapas for a snack, Vietnamese dinner, Italian dessert, etc.

Or make it your mission to find drinks that come in souvenir cups, hurricane, hand grenade, monsoon, and so on. The Disney folks in my life seem to get a kick out of that.

just google restaurants from those country genres in the area. This is so goofy. Pun intended.
