In this timely conversation with Caroline Rosen, executive director of the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation, some of the topics we discuss include:

• The history of Tales of the Cocktail - from its humble origins as a walking tour soaked in history and booze, to its current status at the cutting edge of international spirits and cocktail conferences.
• How Tales of the Cocktail actually operates - and it's complicated. There’s educational seminars, pop-up events, bar takeovers, second line parades, chance celebrity encounters in hotel lobbies, and a whole lot more besides.
• What the Tales of the Cocktail has done to pivot in the wake of the COVID-19 Coronavirus - including all the details about their FREE digital education and networking opportunities that will be announced on August 31st.
• We also cover a bunch of other topics, including the yearly Oscars of the cocktail world - AKA the Spirited Awards, the uncommon economic impact the event has on the service industry sector of the Big Easy, the legendary mid-July aroma of Bourbon St.
• And much, much more
