Cheers to Sanctuaria’s bar manager Matt Seiter and his bar crew for being named finalists for the Tales of the Cocktail Spirits Awards in the World’s Best Cocktail Menu category. The nomination is based on the 150-long cocktail menu that Seiter and his colleagues compiled for the launch of the Sanctuaria Cocktail Club last fall.
Other bars around the globe in the running for the award include Artesian Bar at The Langham Hotel in London; Eau de Vie in Sydney, Australia; and Mayahuel in New York. The winner will be announced on Saturday, July 23, as part of events taking place during the five-day Tales of the Cocktail festival held annually in New Orleans. Until then, be sure to stop by Sanctuaria to taste one of Seiter’s summer sippers.
