The Dame Hall of Fame
Ever since there were cocktails there have been dames. Strong, confident women that were happy to serve you a drink or kick you out if you’ve had too many. Today there are dames around the world that are causing a stir in distilleries and behind the bar. In 2016, we’re returning to honor a new class of extraordinary and spirited cocktail women for their contributions to the craft of making drinks. We will once again takeover Ruth’s Chris Steak House, but this year we’re kicking things off at 6 pm to allow for even more dames to join us as we salute the women that are redefining bartending with every shake.

Presented by Infinium Spirits
In Partnership with Ruth's Chris Steak House
