World Cocktail Week® will be celebrated this year from May 6 – 13th with fundraising events
planned in cities around the world.
World Cocktail Week® was established to promote better understanding and appreciation of the art of
the cocktail and its history, and responsible drinking. The date commemorates the first definition of
the term Cocktail in print in the 1806 edition of The Balance and Columbian Repository.
The WCW fundraiser also raises much needed revenue to help pay for museum operating costs throughout the
year and for our mixology series. Museum sanctioned WCW venues using the MOTAC Seal are expected to
donate at least 10% of proceeds from their event to the Museum. We are very grateful for this support.
The WCW celebration at the museum will be held on Thursday, May 13th from 5 to 8 pm and is sponsored this
year by Glazers Distributors. Come sample some of the best food from New Orleans' finest restaurants, fabulous
cocktails from renowned mixologists, and great music of course! And Chris McMillian and Dale DeGroff will be
there again to make the Worlds largest Fire & Ice Mint Julep! All proceeds will go towards supporting the
Museum and its mixology series.
Tickets for the New Orleans event are available
here.
Below, you will find video and images from last years celebrations, For questions on how you can participate
