Welcome to the Manhattan Cocktail Classic, New York City’s first ever multi-day event celebrating the history, contemporary culture, and artful craft of the cocktail.  Part festival, part fête, part conference, part cocktail party, the Manhattan Cocktail Classic brings together the unparalleled talents and opportunities of the bars, bartenders, and restaurants of our great city for five days of activities, both educational and celebratory in nature, championing the common ideals of authenticity, equality, sustainability, service, and pleasure.  (There will be some drinking involved, too.)

We’re shaking things up this time, cracking open the conventional model of sponsorship and creating a space for our participating parters to exercise a tremendous degree of creative control. To request the 2010 Partnership Deck, please email sponsors@manhattancocktailclassic.com.

In addition, we are now accepting applications for on-site educational seminars. Anyone may apply (including perspective sponsors). Applications will be accepted until Monday, February 15th.
