Modeled on the wildly popular Manhattan Cocktail Classic and New Orleans’ Tales of the Cocktail event. San Antonio’s own Cocktail Conference is the first of its kind in Texas. It is bringing together top bartenders for four days of education seminars, guided tastings and cocktail parties. Conference proceeds will benefit HeartGift San Antonio.
Cocktail Brainchild
The San Antonio Cocktail Conference is the brainchild of local San Antonio restauranteur, Chef Mark Bohanan.
As part of that dedication and love for the city, Bohanan has taken on the task of creating, planning and executing the first-ever San Antonio Cocktail Conference, to be held Thursday, Jan. 26, through Sunday, Jan. 29.
The event will feature educational seminars, classes, tastings and more, with expert bartenders flying in from across the United States and even as far away as Australia.
As the leader and innovator of the San Antonio Cocktail Conference, Bohanan wants to remind locals of what is available to them right in their own backyards, show tourists why San Antonio is a major destination for both the leisure and business traveler, and showcase the art of classic cocktails.
