Me and Julio Down in Nola/ Tales of the Cocktail

While at Tales of the Cocktail this year, I shot the "Me and Julio Down in Nola" Don Julio happy hour.  I arrived at Exchange Alley a little early and got to see some of the batching madness. There may have been no pepper grinder, someone may have blended their drink in a woodworking shop because of lack of power elsewhere and 4 gallons of ginger syrup may have been mysteriously delivered 20 minutes before the happy hour began. Working events, the photographer always sees some of the panic behind the scenes but eventually everyone is eating jambalaya and drinking Don Julio 1942 while wearing free t-shirts.
