Life is a Drag

An unforgettable after-dinner drink in New Orleans, The Life is a Drag from Mister Mao riffs on the classic ritual of espresso and a menthol cigarette.

Equal parts delicious and theatrical, it’s served in an antique glass perched atop a vintage ashtray and garnished with a torched candy cigarette.
