One of the highlights of this year’s Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans was the Bartenders’ Breakfast hosted by Audrey Saunders and Simon Ford of Plymouth Gin. Reputed to be the biggest, wildest event of the Tales weekend it boasted the best drinks and a stunning list of guest bartenders including Dale DeGroff, Gary Regan, Francesco Lafranconi, Jacques Bezuidenhout, Kenta Goto, John Deragon, Don Lee, Chris Patino, Matt Gee, Leo DeGroff & more with special overseas guests Wayne Collins, Tony Conigliaro and Jason Crawley. 

Preceded by the now traditional New Orleans Jazz funeral for a bad cocktail (mercifully Sex on the Beach) it was a night to remember. Or not as the case might be.
