A literal blizzard hit CT which slightly tamped down attendance however the casino was still at maximum capacity making for a great weekend of events. Whimsically Tipsy along with help from CT Restaurant Association Bartender of The Year Khalid Williams  and his Connecticut Food and Cocktail focused lifestyle brand The Barrel Age, created over 980 cocktails samples to guests.

“We had an unbelievable time and it absolutely allowed us to get our brand out there” said Stuart Slocum Whimsically Tipsy’s Owner. “Natasha created some amazing concoctions that were very unique like our Phoenix Fire, which uses Vida De Muertos Mezcal by Del Maguey, fresh lime & grapefruit juice, muddled jalapeño and a dash of ground Himalayan pink sea salt that was the fan favorite for the event. Usually Mezcal can be a divisive spirit but she put it together in a perfectly balanced way that brought people out of their comfort zone opening their eyes to something new!”

The Whimsically Tipsy team waited out the storm that hammered New London County finally allowing them to leave on Sunday after the event. The time in the casino bonding with distributors and vendors was a blast however Willow the VW Mobile Bar Bus doesn’t do well in the salt from the plow trucks melting ice and snow, so the team had to improvise. They decided to wrap Willow up in shrink wrap to protect her from being eaten up by chemicals on the road outside the casino on the ride home to Old Lyme which made for quite a spectacle.
