As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I spent a good portion of my week getting ready for Tales of the Cocktail<\/a>, but I left it at that.\u00c2\u00a0 I can only assume that those of you reading CH who aren’t crazy cocktail geeks might be wondering what exactly Tales is.\u00c2\u00a0 To put it succinctly it’s a conference.\u00c2\u00a0 A cocktail conference to be exact, but, and I’m completely speculating here as it’s my first time to Tales, I think it’s something more than just a conference.\u00c2\u00a0 For Aaron and I it will be an opportunity to meet some of the people we’ve “conversed” with only digitally.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a chance to try new drinks, ingredients and learn a ton.\u00c2\u00a0 But most of all it’s a chance of us to have a truly fantastic time in New Orleans.<\/p>\n It’s my intent to post during the week and give brief updates on what’s going on, but I certainly can’t make any promises.\u00c2\u00a0 We only spent a half day here today and already I’m a bit wiped out.\u00c2\u00a0 However, I’m also fat, dumb and happy as a result of some tasty cocktails, wonderful food and some amazing sights.\u00c2\u00a0 If I don’t get a chance to post during the week please be sure to take a look at the official Tales of the Cocktail Blog<\/a> as Aaron and I will be writing a post about our impressions as first time attendees at Tales.<\/p>\n [Note] That is indeed a Hurricane from Pat O’Briens.\u00c2\u00a0 Despite it’s made-from-mix-ness it was still relatively tasty and quite refreshing after getting rained on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I spent a good portion of my week getting ready for Tales of the Cocktail, but I left it at that.\u00c2\u00a0 I can only assume that those of you reading CH who aren’t crazy cocktail geeks might be wondering what exactly Tales is.\u00c2\u00a0 To put it succinctly it’s a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1086"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1090,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086\/revisions\/1090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Reese](\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3558\/3692360935_5bf7fe4feb.jpg\")
