Cucumber Margarita from Alma, Brooklyn, NY

Tonight is the kickoff for this year’s Tales of the Cocktail conference and I’m joining up with a group of cocktail lovers using a brand new app called BarNotes which happens to be the creation of someone I work with and see just about everyday, so I’m extra proud and excited to introduce y’all to it to. Download this FREE iPhone app at the app store and get ready to document just how much of a boozehound you really are. Think of it as Instagram for your extremely photogenic alcohol problem.

The timing is perfect since NOLA is extra saturated with all the mixologists crawling our streets this week and I’m going to be especially curious to see if anyone out there is mixing AND drinking any pickle-centric cocktails! So download the app and snap and drink away and if you find any pickle, pepper or brine ingredients in your drink be sure and tweet with #TOTC & #picklefreak

Ok, freaks, let’s go out there and get pickled!
