official cocktail of 2010 Tales of The Cocktail
Here comes a good opportunity to celebrate New Orleans' contribution to the drinking life. Last July, South-East Louisiana (birthplace of drinks such as the Hurricane) welcomed the 8th Annual Culinary and Cocktail Festival, Tales of The Cocktail.
Each year, top bartenders are challenged to reinvent a classic. Last January, during the 2010 edition, over 150 bartenders battled it out to create a Tiki-inspired cocktail. Washington-based bartender Even Martin won first place with his "Death in South Pacific", which was served at the upcoming festival held from July 21 - 25th.
"The drink's name is a play on Love in the South Pacific and Death in the Afternoon. I found the name fitting as it's modelled after the Zombie (use of Absinthe, a good amount of citrus balanced by various sweeteners, requiring a name that gave as much warning as the Zombie) as is its colour (should be a light tan with a muddy and bloody looking float) and Death in the Afternoon's use of Absinthe", explains Evan.
