FÁTIMA LEÓN (TERRAZA SEPIA) AND LUCAS GROGLIO (COCTELERÍA CONSCIENTE) WILL JOIN CHUCK RIVERA (JUNGLE BIRD) FOR A ONE-OF-A-KIND SHIFT AND DISCUSSION LED BY ALBA HUERTA (JULEP)
Tales of the Cocktail Foundation's Headliners Series brings together three global bartenders for a one-of-a-kind shift. Tales Headliner Series aims to provide a platform to both learn from and celebrate talent in the drinks industry. The Series will pop-up in different cities with the goal of sharing experiences, stories, and ways to engage with Tales of the Cocktail Foundation initiatives and events.
Crafting cocktails with intentional ingredients, Tales of the Cocktail Foundation brings together Argentinian bartender Lucas Groglio, Mexican bartender Fatima Leon, and Puerto Rican bartender Jose "Chuck" Rivera for the Foundation's first Tales Headliners Series on the road. Lucas, of LO HACEMOS BIEN and NGO Mas Oxigeno's Coctelería Consciente, uses sustainable bartending techniques for his cocktails; down to the coaster it is served on. Fatima, lead bartender of Mexico City's TERRAZA SEPIA, creates cocktails as a personal representation, each ingredient holding a story. Chuck, the Beverage Director of Jungle Bird / Caneca Coctelería Móvil / Licorería Miramar, brings innovation and craftsmanship to the cocktail programs he oversees. This shift is open to the public and the first two cocktails of the night are on Tales of the Cocktail Foundation!
Puerto Rico Cocktail Week 2019 is the first edition of a seven-day celebration of the local cocktail heritage with the best beaches, spirit brands, people and bars, coming all together to showcase the best flavors in town.
This project aims to make the local bartenders known and to market high cocktail establishments on the Island, around the world. Currently, Puerto Rico is considered one of the most important islands in the Caribbean and a destination that many people in the industry admire. We want to take the local bar culture to another level!
Industry seminars, guest bartender nights, pairing dinners, cocktail tours, special events and much more will be happening all week long! Whether you are a cocktail enthusiast or a bar professional, PRCW has something prepared for you!
