David Roth, (lower row, fourth from the left in a purple shirt), Chapter President of the United States Bartenders Guild (USBG-CT) from Hartford, went to New Orleans as the first Connecticut apprentice at Tales of the Cocktail 2012. The Tales of the Cocktail® Apprentice Program was developed in 2008 “to give talented bartenders the opportunity to apprentice with skilled veterans and hone their craft.” Working directly with presenters during the seminars, the program provides opportunity to work on large scale events while learning first-hand about their craft’s history and it’s new directions.
