TOTC reveals Spirited Awards 2021 winners
Tales of the Cocktail Foundation (TOTCF) has named the winners of its 2021 Spirited Awards, broadcast live in New Orleans yesterday (23 September).
This year’s Spirited Awards announced winners for the Helen David Lifetime Achievement Award, Pioneer Award, Timeless US Award, Timeless International Award, and the five Writing and Media awards.
The 15th annual Spirited Awards differed from previous years as the TOTCF made the decision not to focus on bars and bartenders as they could not be judged fairly as a result of the pandemic.
“We always knew we were a truly determined, tenacious community, but the way in which we’ve seen our peers navigate this year with such grace and grit has been nothing short of incredible,” said TOTCF CEO Eileen Wayner.
“Tales of the Cocktail Foundation is proud to recognise the winners of the 15th Annual Spirited Awards, and we thank them for their outstanding contributions that are advancing the beverage industry.”
The ceremony was broadcast at 4pm CST on 23 September. It concluded the annual Tales of the Cocktail festival, held in a hybrid format this year.
