Left Coast Libations book signing in the lobby of Hotel Monteleone. From Left to Right: Ted Munat (author), Jenn Farrington (photographer), Michael Lazar (author)
Throughout the duration of Tales of the Cocktail, Octavia Books (a locally owned New Orleans bookstore) hosted an on-site cocktail-themed bookstore called ‘Shots of Inspiration’ in the Hotel Monteleone. Each day, hundreds of people lined up in the hotel lobby for various book signings with some of the most well-known authors of cocktail and mixology literature. The 2010 ‘Shots of Inspiration’ was so successful that it broke its sales record from the previous year. Below is a list of the top ten selling books during Tales of the Cocktail 2010.
Many, if not all, of these books are a part of the Mutineer Magazine library. Whether you are a seasoned bartender, aspiring mixologist, cocktail aficionado, or just a lover of fine beverages, this list is definitely a great resource for cocktail literature.
