Sue Strachan

Sue Strachan discovered early in her career that two things would always get people excited — New Orleans and cocktails — so why not combine the two? "THE CAFÉ BRŰLOT" (2021) and James Beard-nominated "THE OBITUARY COCKTAIL" (2025) are part of LSU Press Iconic New Orleans Cocktails series. Sue has written about New Orleans culture, food, cocktails, entertainment, history and current events, as well as other non-city-centric topics for New Orleans Times-Picayune, New Orleans Magazine, New Orleans Homes, Preservation in Print, St. Charles Avenue, HG, Time (Asia), among others.
