If you’re interested in cocktails and haven’t made it to Tales of the Cocktail, you’re missing out. Running from July 25 through the 29th, Tales offers something to satisfy every aspect of your cocktail interests. Seminars held throughout the week range from the industry specific (Building a World Class Bar Team) to the practical (Bittercube Hands on Handmade Bitters Lab) to the delicious (Tasting the World’s Greatest Spirits). The Spirited Dinners teach you about pairing your favorite drinks with food at your favorite restaurants. And of course, there is everyone’s favorite part: the tasting rooms. But Tales goes beyond just the seminars, dinners and tasting rooms. There are Spirited Lunches, Excursions, and a number of other sponsored events.

Now I know Tales isn’t happening until late July, so why are we talking it up now? Because if you want to get in on the best stuff, you need to act fast. Year after year, Tales continues to grow in size and popularity. While this allows Tales to grow and expand their offerings, it also means a bit more competition for the best events. Top it all off with the fact that all of the Spirited Dinners occur just on Thursday, July 26th and you’ve got to get a move on if you’re going to score your table at your favorite dinner. And because Tales is for serious cocktailing folks, the seminars fill up just as quickly. So hop to it and get your spots now. We’ll see you there for sure.
