Ladies. You’ve had a long week. Non-stop, on the go, hustling and bustling, you’ve accomplished more in one week than most do in a month. In between soccer practice for the kids, cooking gourmet meals for the family, and ruling the boardroom at the company——all while making sure that your make-up is flawless and no hair is out of place, you deserve a reward. You deserve…something special.

Ok. So you’ve got your Halloween costume all set. Guys, you’ve grown out your beard all month in preparation to be Wolverine…or maybe Alan from The Hangover. Ladies, you’ve gone to great lengths to make a “sexy” version of every profession and monster known to man. You deserve a great Halloween-inspired cocktail. And we’ve got just the trick…or treat using one of our favorite new vodkas, Vixen Vodka. Boo-yah!

When our go-to beer consigliere Ale Sharpton of Cruisin’ for a Brewsin told us he was curating a one-of-a-kind beer feast, we could barely hold in our excitement.

Summer may be coming to a close, but there is still time to enjoy uniquely crisp and refreshing cocktails before the onslaught of fall and winter. And what better activity to enjoy the mild weather than on a the golf course. So in conjunction with the world’s premier golf pro’s making their stop in Atlanta to compete for a cool $8M at the PGA TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola, we’ll be clueing you in on spirit the Scots make just as well as whisky…gin. It’s high time you get to know Caorunn Gin.

It was only a matter of time before ATL restaurant think tank Fifth Group added delights from the briny deep to its culinary repertoire. With Italian (La Tavola Trattoria), European (Ecco), Mexican (The Original El Taco & Alma Cocina), and Southern (South City Kitchen Vinings & Midtown) offerings already represented, it was a natural progression to develop a concept focused on seafood and global coastal traditions.
In a city where beer festivals are weekly and almost every street has their own, I often wondered when it would be time for an event solely focused on cocktails. It’s an easy sell. A Prohibition-era themed cocktail festival in the vein of Tales of the Cocktail and the Manhattan Cocktail Classic is the stuff dreams are made of for a cocktailphile like myself.
