Boca Loca Cachaça & Jeffrey Morgenthaler Stir the Soul at Tales of the Cocktail 09

Boca Loca Cachaça provided a beautiful and tasty tropical themed lunch for the media and presenters at Tales of the Cocktail ’09 (TOTC).  Tales of the Cocktail rolled around in real time without much scheduling time allotted for stopping to grab a bite to eat between seminars and tasting rooms.  The spirits companies who pitched in to ‘stir the soul’ with a bit of food and drink were greatly appreciated.  Boca Loca Cachaça was indeed a great treat due to the wonderful lunch and finally tasting a cocktail created and prepared by Jeffrey Morgenthaler. 

 

While a traditional Caipirinha is always refreshing, Morgenthaler’s Black Dog hit the spot; not too sweet, well balanced and straightforward enough for the home bartender to reconstruct without rounding up difficult to find ingredients.  Thanks for the marvelous Black Dog cocktail Jeff!  Many thanks to Boca Loca Cachaça for providing the much needed lunch break.
