In addition to hosting my second annual “Live From the Red Carpet” video leading into the Spirited Awards® at Tales of the Cocktail 2010, being invited to be a jury member for them was one of the biggest honors of my career. In my tippling travels, I get to try some of the world’s best cocktail bars and products, meet the people behind them and revel in their liquid talents.

(Obviously, among these names are some of my favorite people in the business.) Cheers everyone!!

Cana at The Doheny: Tiki, Transformed (VIDEO link)
Downtown LA newsflash: The Doheny is about to get a whole lot busier. The once exclusive (pricey) members-only drinking club is opening its doors a little wider, and inviting the rum-lovers of the world to come in.
