Local bars and bartenders won big at this weekend's Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, with Julio Bermejo (Tommy's Mexican Restaurant) receiving the Lifetime Achievement award and local Suntory rep Neyah White winning Best American Brand Ambassador. Trick Dog did especially well, simultaneously earning the Best American Bar Team prize and emerging victorious over the likes of NYC's NoMad and L.A.'s Harvard & Stone in the Bar Fight Club cocktail competition.
