Creating Cocktail Culture In Small Cities

A thriving cocktail culture is no longer the bastion of big cities. How do you create a cocktail culture in a city with obstacles such as population density, social media, education and isolation? The panel has worked tirelessly to create one in their respective cities and we will show you the methods behind creating something special in your city. The methods will be able to be applied to other small markets but may also give new tricks of the trade to big city bartenders that may not have been thought about before with real world financial returns.
