Think of it as a five day summer camp for the best and brightest in the spirits industry. Held annually in New Orleans, the week features seminars, parties, and cocktailing galore in this boozy 24-hour playground. It can be a liver workout \u2013 trust me!<\/p>\n

Mixologists from all over the country (including local NW bartenders!) put their skills to the test by participating in crazy cool competitions. And when you need a break from all the booze- there are tons of unique bookstores and gift shops to explore.<\/p>\n

Not only is the festival SO much fun, it\u2019s the best way to find out the latest and greatest trends in the spirits industry. And good news- tickets are open to the public! So if you\u2019re looking for a reason to expand your liquor knowledge and visit NOLA- Tales of the Cocktail is the perfect excuse.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t make it this year? No problem! You can still get in the spirit by making my d\u2019lish Maple Ramos Fizz<\/b> cocktail at home.<\/p>\n

For ticketing information, visit their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And follow along with me on Twitter @KathyCaseyChef – I’ll be tweeting everything Tales direct from New Orleans next week!<\/p>\n

Maple Ramos Fizz
\nMakes 2 cocktails<\/b><\/p>\n

Maple adds another layer of flavor to this classic brunch cocktail. Try Sipsmith Gin with a splash of maple syrup over ice as a sipping alternative. For a whimsical garnish, purchase sugared waffle crisps cut into small wedges and skewer onto long bamboo skewers.<\/p>\n

3 oz Sipsmith Gin
\n1\/2 cup Maple Ramos Pre-Mix
\n————————————-
\nsoda water for topping, chilled
\nGarnish: lemon peel twist<\/p>\n

Measure the gin and Maple Ramos Pre-Mix into a mixing glass. Fill with ice, cap and shake vigorously to really froth the drink. Divide drink between 2 tall (Collins style) glasses, and top with a splash of soda water to fizz (about 1 ounce for each drink). Twist lemon over drink to express oils and garnish.<\/p>\n

Maple Ramos Pre-Mix
\nMakes about 4 cups, or 8 servings<\/b><\/p>\n

1 cup heavy cream
\n1 cup pasteurized or organic egg whites
\n3\/4 cup real maple syrup
\n1\/2 cup simple syrup*
\n3\/4 cup fresh lemon juice
\n1 tsp orange flower water<\/p>\n

Combine all ingredients together in a pitcher and whisk vigorously to combine, being sure egg whites are mixed in. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir well before using.<\/p>\n

*To make simple syrup: combine 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water in a saucepan, bring to a quick boil then remove from heat. Cool. Store refrigerated for up to 10 days. Makes about 3 cups.<\/p>\n
