August 22, 2016—Cointreau is at the heart of creative cocktails. In the spirit of celebrating originality, seven local mixologists met at Barcocina to create artful, Cointreau-inspired cocktails. The evening's most renowned cocktail, “Hanami,” was created by Brandon Phillips from The Duck Inn. Cheers to Brandon and the art of the cocktail.
