Check out Midtown Cocktail week, and watch some of the finest Mixology in Northern California! From the opening night party at well-reputed cocktail lounge L Wine Lounge, featuring drinks by Chris Tucker! (favorite bartender) then on to a bartending competition, tequila seminar, industry classes, and wonderful cocktails though-out the downtown area by many area restaurants in representation of this event! Last year my favorite drink was Mulvaney's B&L take on a bloody mary: tomato water, vodka, a heirloom cherry tomato and a slice of bacon! GENIUS! Let's see what were in store for!
