As it increased in popularity along a certain New Orleans street it acquired the name of that street and became known as the Tchoupitoulas Street Guzzle. Tchoupitoulas (pronounced Chop-a-too'-las) was the name of an ancient Indian tribe that had its village in what is now the upper part of New Orleans. Just what sort of fire-water was their favorite guzzle history saith not. Seventy-one 1/8 yellow chartreuse 1/8 green chartreuse 1/8 Cuban rum
