Tales of the Cocktail!

We just got back from an incredible event in New Orleans...Tales of the Cocktail!  Met some awesome "cocktail" people, attended fun events and imbibed in delicious cocktails.  Many new spirits were there showcasing their products and Bonefish Grill had a great competition for the best new spirit.  What a fun competition and I was so happy to see one of my personal favorites...Square One Organic Vodka.

I also met Leigh, the Director of Beverage from Bonefish and got to see Allison, the Founder of Square One!  Check out a clip from Tales of the Cocktail and an interview with Leigh.  Was happy to hear Square One Organic Vodka won the competition and now will be in 5 restaurants initially and if all goes well will role out to more....go ORGANIC!!
