Such is the case in New Orleans, where the use of roasted chicory root helped to stretch the coffee supply during Civil War blockades. However, the rich, bold flavor proved popular. Today, a New Orleans–style coffee is essentially shorthand for coffee brewed with chicory, such as you would find at the historic Cafe de Monde , alongside a plate of beignets dusted in snow drifts

Wait, is Tommy’s Margarita actually a Daiquiri ? Well, if we’re gonna get really technical here, it’s neither a Margarita nor a Daiquiri, but if the drink didn’t contain “Margarita” in its moniker, there’s a good chance that it never would have taken off.
