Leviathan’s Tincture
Leviathan referred to a very large aquatic creature, especially a whale. Here in New Orleans, it refers to a very special smoke throwing dragon float that rolls with the Krewe Of Orpheus parade tonight. Leviathan is one of my very favorite floats. He’s been part of the parade since 1998. His body is constructed in 3 sections & he measures 139-foot (42 m) in length. He’s also the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting. We made this festive cocktail in Leviathan’s honor… swipe to see the float itself. Cheers!
