Good juice and fresh Froot Loops FTW.

Find a good store that will pour you some samples. Not sure where you are, but Martin's in NOLA will have stuff open for you to try. A good wine & spirit guy can get you in the right direction.
I'm more of a bourbon drinker, so for me, some solid $20-30 pours would be Henry McKenna and Elijah Craig.

SoBou was the first thing that popped in my head when you said small plates, cocktails, and FQ.
Sylvain and Cane & Table are also great recs.

The rye is pretty good for being just 2 years old. It's more fruity than spicy.

Are you talking about their lot 001 of rye or bourbon? The rye has a green wax top and is confusingly called Bourbon and Rye.
Every release prior to that rye and the most recent bourbon, Bourbon Country (orange wax), were aged far longer.

As far as the Aquarium, you are at the edge of the Quater, so there are loads of places in walking distance. You could hope on the street car too. Happy hour at Domenica in the Roosevelt is a good option for kids. Half-priced pizza.

curious what Dorignac’s was charging for it
It was $48, I believe.
Drago's Char-Broiled Oysters
2 lb. butter, softened
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh garlic
1 Tbs. black pepper
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
6 dozen oysters on the half shell
1 cup grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses, mixed
3 Tbs. chopped parsley
1. Mix butter with the garlic, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat a gas or charcoal grill and put oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part. Spoon the seasoned butter over the oysters enough so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit.
3. The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and Romano and the parsley on top. Serve on the shells immediately with hot French bread.
Serves eight to twelve normal people, or two serious oyster fanatics.

If you are looking to make cocktails I would say spend less and get more variations.
Something like Old Grand Dad 114, Henry Mckenna, and Rittenhouse Rye. These are all over 100 proof, so you will still get some oomph in a mixed drink. Those should all be $30 and below as well.
I would spend $20-30 on a couple tequilas, a blanco and reposado. Something like Espolon is solid for both. Just make sure you get 100% agave.
As far as mixers, you can start with a triple sec like Cointreau, a Vermouth, and some bitters (Peychaud's and angostura). With those, plus whip up some simple syrup, and fresh fruit; there is a slew of cocktails you can whip up.

Anywhere local in NOLA y’all are able to find 107?
Dorignac's randomly had some out 2 Sundays ago. Maybe half a case at most, but are no longer there.
Elios from time to time will have some.

Rouses is absurd. The one near me has a sign that says, "Pappy Van Winkle available". It's old Rip 10 for $599.
