Spirited Awards names European nominees
Tales of the Cocktail Foundation (TOTCF) has revealed its top 10 nominees across Europe for this year’s Spirited Awards.
The 23rd Tales of the Cocktail (TOTC) festival will be held on 20-25 July 2025 in New Orleans, focused on the theme ‘Evolve’.
This year’s Spirited Awards ceremony will take place on 24 July in celebration of the world’s best bars, products, individuals and media. The finalists are selected from a panel of more than 250 industry experts, with Stephanie Jordan and Camille Vidal named co-chairs for Europe.
“The Spirited Awards are a beautiful celebration of our vibrant industry – a moment to recognise the talent, creativity, and dedication that drive our community forward,” said Vidal.
“We’re so excited to applaud those who are shaping cocktail culture across Europe and beyond. Huge congratulations to the regional top 10 honourees – your passion, purpose, and impact continue to inspire and uplift our industry.”
The awards are divided into geographical regions: Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, Latin America and Caribbean, Middle East and Africa, US Central, US East, and US West.
