Tales of the Toddy at the W New Orleans

It is the most spirited time of the year! Kick off the unique flavor of the holiday season in New Orleans with Tales of the Toddy, a holiday celebration with a cocktail twist. The best bartenders in New Orleans will be shaking up some yuletide toddies, eggnogs, punches and champagne drinks while sharing their secrets on how to add a little flair to any holiday festivities. For this holiday event with twist, we are asking local mixologists, and all those shaking up the holidays to craft a holiday cocktail using premium spirits.

Guests will experience new cocktails, enjoy desserts, and other delights from the area’s best restaurants and bars. All to warm the spirit and offer good cheer, as we raise a glass to toast the season. Just by participating, you’ll be Making Spirits Bright with a little holiday cheer as the event will benefit the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides low cost medical care for our city’s musicians.
