Tales of the Cocktail, the multi-day celebration of spirits in New Orleans has wrapped up its 11th annual celebration. The event, which took over the city, features more than 200 curated seminars, tasting rooms, spirited dinners, and competition and mixologists, brand ambassadors, and drinkers come together to learn, explore, and mingle.
Miami was well represented at Tales, with some of our best bartenders and spirits professionals poured drinks, created cocktails, and discovered new spirits and techniques.
