Archive for July 29th, 2011Last week celebrated another fabulous year in New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail. Thousands of bartenders, mixologists, brands and cocktail enthusiasts trekked from all over the globe down to the Big Easy for 5 fun-filled days of education, networking, cuisine and of course, cocktails. The opening night parties thrown by Beefeater and William Grant & Sons were as impressive as ever, with Beefeater taking over a beautiful mansion and William Grant making the World War II museum come alive. The next day, drink lovers could travel the world and get a passport stamped by three floors of Diageo cocktails. Later that evening came the Spirited Dinners, followed by the Bombay Sapphire Anniversary party and the annual USBG Meetup at Old Absinthe House. Friday would not have been complete with a trip to the Bartender’s Brawl and cocktails on Bourbon Street, and Saturday rounded out the festival with the Spirited Awards Ceremony and Bartender’s Breakfast. It was seminars, tastings, amazing food and experimental cocktails galore…the perfect way to spend a week in New Orleans! Only 354 days til the 10th Anniversary of Tales!   Related posts:
