About this Event

Tales of the Cocktail 2025 will be held from July 20-25 at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, focusing on the theme "Evolve" to highlight the industry's ongoing transformation. Since its inception in 2002, this event has grown from a walking tour of New Orleans cocktail bars into the world's leading cocktail conference. It offers hundreds of opportunities for industry professionals, including education, tastings, networking, and awards programming.

 

Pernod Ricard is excited to be back in New Orleans for the 23rd annual Tales of the Cocktail festival! Join us and our family of brands for a week of incredible events. This year, we’re launching the Pernod Ricard House of Conviviality, an immersive hub for dynamic and exciting education and experiences. We can’t wait to welcome you into a world of fine spirits and great times.

 

Please take note of the location of each event, as some events will still be held throughout the Quarter at some of our amazing partner venues. Registration for all events must be made using the registration form.
