Above: Congratulations to Ryan Chetiyawardana, Alex Lawrence and the Lyan household notching up an unbelievable three awards together with World’s Finest Cocktail Bar
In case you hadn’t heard, there was just a little occasion happening in New Orleans final week. Not for nothing is Tales of the Cocktail considered The Oscars of the drinks business… Taking in 5 full days of fabulousness the action-packed programme included a bunch of thought-provoking seminars, umpteen spirited tastings, super-cool events and naturally, the factor we’ve all missed greater than something – connecting with previous and new associates from all corners of the globe.
The opposite huge draw was the annual Spirited Awards, the place folks, merchandise, bars and their groups are given big props from their business friends. That is the way it rolled this 12 months…
