Get Your Purple Drank

New Orleans' legendary Voodoo Daiquiri, now bringing the Bourbon Street party straight to you.

A NOLA Original

Our Story

Born on Bourbon Street

In the oldest corners of the French Quarter, gaslit, cobblestoned, and haunted by pirates with better manners than most tourists, a purple frozen daiquiri became a rite of passage. One cup, one red-and-white straw, and suddenly the night has a plot.

They call it the Voodoo Daiquiri. We call it The Purple Drank. It's the drink people fly in for, wait in line for, and lie to their coworkers about on Monday.

Now you don't have to wait in line on Bourbon Street. We bring the legend to you, trailer, ice, straws, and all the mischief included.

The Drink

One Cup. Full Voodoo.

The Purple Drank Voodoo Daiquiri frozen purple in a branded New Orleans cup with a red and white straw

The Purple Drank

Frozen, fearless, and unmistakably purple. Served in our signature branded cup with the red-and-white straw that has appeared in roughly every French Quarter photo ever taken.

Available full-strength or as a virgin mocktail, so the kids, the designated drivers, and the folks pacing themselves can still hold a purple cup.Every flavor pours virgin on request

How It's Made

Three Steps to Purple

01

Load the machine

Fresh mix goes in the frozen drink machine the night before and spins until it's proper slush, never watery, never rock hard.

02

Pour the purple

Straight from the spout into the signature Purple Drank cup. That deep grape color is the tell, if it isn't purple, it isn't ours.

03

Straw and go

Red-and-white straw in, lid optional, photo mandatory. Frozen enough to sip slow, strong enough to make the night interesting.

Official Taste Tester

The Shop Pup

Guards the cups, approves every batch, accepts payment in ear scratches. Strictly a virgin-daiquiri drinker. If you see her at the trailer, you're in the right place.

Word on the Street

What the Party Says

They rolled up to our wedding reception and every single guest had a purple cup within ten minutes. Photos came out unreal.

Danielle & Marc

Felicity Church Wedding

Wedding, Garden District

Our corporate happy hour finally didn't feel corporate. The crew was fast, funny, and pure New Orleans.

Trey Boudreaux

Crescent Logistics Group

Company Party, CBD

Bachelorette weekend. The trailer parked outside the Airbnb. That's the whole review.

Private Bachelorette Party

Bachelorette, Marigny

Tastes exactly like the one that got me in trouble on Bourbon in 2011. Ten out of ten.

Questions

Before You Book

Packages & Pricing

What packages do you offer?+

Three, and they all pour the same purple: Starter ([$XXX], 2 hours of service, Up to 50 guests); Party ([$XXX], 4 hours of service, 50 to 150 guests); Premium ([$XXX], 6 hours of service, 150 to 400+ guests). If none of them fit your night, tell us what you are throwing and we will build the quote around it.

How much does it cost?+

Packages start at [$XXX] for Starter, and the final number comes down to three things: headcount, how many hours you want us pouring, and how far we are hauling the trailer. Send the booking form and you get a real quote back, not a range.

Is there a deposit, and when is the balance due?+

A deposit holds your date, and nothing is locked until it lands. Deposit: [DEPOSIT AMOUNT]. Balance: [BALANCE DUE TERMS].

Can we add extra hours on the day of the event?+

Usually yes, as long as we do not have another event stacked behind you and the crew is still legal to serve. Overtime runs [OVERTIME RATE], settled at the end of the night.

Do you have a minimum for small groups?+

Small groups book the Starter package against a minimum spend instead of a per-guest count, so a fifteen person bachelorette party works just fine. Minimum: [SMALL GROUP MINIMUM].

What's Included

What comes with every booking?+

The trailer, the frozen machine, the mix, the ice, the cups, lids, and straws, and a licensed crew to pour it all. You bring the people. We bring the purple.

How many bartenders come with each package?+

Starter comes with one bartender, Party comes with two, and Premium rolls with a full crew of three. More hands can be added if your guest count is climbing.

Do you offer non-alcoholic options?+

Yes. Every flavor can be poured as a virgin frozen version, so kids, designated drivers, and anybody taking the night off still walk away with a purple cup.

Can we get custom cups, a monogram, or a branded sign?+

The drink is purple, that part is not negotiable. Everything around it can be yours: custom cup wraps, a monogram, a hand-lettered sign at the window. Say the word early so we have time to make it. Pricing and lead time: [CUSTOM CUP AND SIGNAGE PRICING AND LEAD TIME].

Do you handle the licensing side of serving at our venue?+

We are a licensed and insured mobile bar, Louisiana ABC permit [LICENSE NUMBER], and we carry our own liquor liability. If your venue needs a certificate of insurance naming them, we can usually turn one around within [TIMEFRAME].

Setup & Cleanup

How long does setup and teardown take?+

Plan on [SETUP TIME] to get the trailer parked, leveled, and the machine spinning before your first pour, and [TEARDOWN TIME] to break down after last call. Both are included in every package, so your service hours are all pouring, no waiting.

What do you need from us on site?+

A flat, level spot the trailer can be towed into, clearance to open the service window, and power. Power requirements: [POWER REQUIREMENTS]. Water access: [WATER REQUIREMENTS]. Everything else, machine, mix, ice, cups, crew, comes with us.

How much space does the trailer need?+

The trailer runs [TRAILER LENGTH] x [TRAILER WIDTH] x [TRAILER HEIGHT], and the full working footprint with the service side open is [SETUP FOOTPRINT]. Exact numbers, plus power and insurance details, are on the Venue Info Sheet PDF for your coordinator.

Do you clean up afterward?+

We leave your spot the way we found it. The crew breaks down the station, wipes down, and hauls off our own trash and cups. Party and Premium bookings include full trash haul-off from the bar area.

What happens if it rains?+

This is New Orleans, we know how to work around a passing shower. The trailer serves rain or shine as long as the site is safe, and we just need a spot for the awning or a covered pad. If the weather turns genuinely unsafe (lightning, flooding, a named storm, or a city order), we call it a weather cancellation. [WEATHER POLICY DETAILS: deposit refundable, credited toward a rescheduled date, or non-refundable, plus how much notice is required.]

Where We Serve

Where in New Orleans do you service?+

We cover the whole metro: New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Slidell, plus the surrounding parishes. Uptown backyards, Garden District receptions, CBD rooftops, Westbank block parties, all standard runs for us.

Will you travel outside the metro?+

Usually, yes. Baton Rouge, the Northshore, and the Gulf Coast are all doable with enough notice. Anything past greater New Orleans picks up a travel fee: [TRAVEL FEE OUTSIDE THE METRO]. Call us and we will work it out.

Can you set up in the French Quarter?+

We know the Quarter better than most, that is home. Narrow streets and permits make it trickier than a driveway in Metairie, so we scout the block ahead of time and tell you straight whether the trailer fits or whether a walk-up station is the smarter play. Street closures and permits are handled with your venue.

Can you deliver to an Airbnb or short-term rental?+

Yes, and it is one of our favorite calls. We just need somewhere legal to park the trailer, a power source, and a heads up from the host that a bar is rolling in. Courtyards and driveways work great.

How far ahead should we book?+

Sooner than you think. Recommended lead time: [RECOMMENDED BOOKING LEAD TIME]. Mardi Gras, festival season, and wedding Saturdays go first, so if you have a date, put a deposit on it.
