Hopeful bartenders competing for a trip to TOTC at the Los Angeles Amaro Montenegro competition, May 2015

Cane Camp just wrapped up but the Cocktail Weeks are really revving up now. As we hit the summer season, many hopeful bartenders have been competing to win trips to New Orleans for the big daddy of them all, TOTC. But don’t forget some other great weeks are coming up including Midtown Cocktail Week in Sacramento in August and two sessions of Camp Runamok. Plus I’m eyeing Kansas City this year. Expect a little Minty Freshness heading to KC for Paris of the Plains in September.
