An intercontinental contest for bragging rights, New Orleans\u2019 best bartenders are taking on the team from London\u2019s very own NOLA. The winner gets bragging rights for the next year\u2026 the loser has to do penance at next year\u2019s Tales of the Cocktail.<\/p>\n

We took seven of New Orleans\u2019 best bartenders and had them each make an original kick-ass cocktail. Then we gave the bartenders from NOLA the exact same ingredients, but without any information about how the drink was proportioned or made.<\/p>\n

Each night, NOLA will make both cocktails and it\u2019s up to you to decide the winner. \u00a38 gets you both cocktails and a vote for your favorite.<\/p>\n
