Celebrating a Milestone: Walk-On's 21st Birthday
Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux is gearing up for an exciting celebration in honor of National Walk-On's Day, which also marks the brand’s 21st birthday. This momentous occasion highlights a significant chapter in the company’s history, showcasing the perseverance and underdog spirit that have been at its core throughout this journey. Guests can look forward to an array of nostalgic throwback cocktails that promise to deliver a delightful trip down memory lane.
Nostalgic Cocktails: A Toast to History
To commemorate this important milestone, Walk-On's has put together a special cocktail menu that features iconic drinks from its storied past. One standout is the Benchwarmer, a cocktail originally crafted by the founder, Brandon Landry, at the restaurant's inception back in 2003. This drink embodies the very essence of Walk-On's, honoring the journeys of walk-on athletes along the way.
The Benchwarmer Cocktail
The Benchwarmer is a bold concoction of Jameson Irish Whiskey, Captain Morgan, and a splash of Razzmatazz, topped off with a burst of Red Bull and finished with a wedge of lemon. This cocktail isn't just a favorite among guests; it serves as a reminder of the roots and values that underpin Walk-On's. The first 50 guests who order the Benchwarmer at each location will receive an exclusive 21st Birthday Commemorative Glass, featuring signatures from both Brandon Landry and the legendary Drew Brees. This collectible isn’t just a piece of glassware; it represents the hard work and commitment that have shaped Walk-On's over the years.
Other Featured Cocktails
In addition to the Benchwarmer, other cherished drinks will make a comeback, like Death Valley, inspired by LSU's famed football stadium, and the always-popular Raspberry Lemonade cocktail, which comes in both cocktail and mocktail variations. These delightful beverages will be priced at their original price of $10, offering guests a sweet sip of nostalgia.
