The Spirits Awards Announces 13 South African Bars As Regional Honorees

Tales of the Cocktail Foundation is committed to moving forward with the 14th annual Spirited Awards, to take place on Saturday 25th July this year, in an effort to recognize the depth of talent across our global spirits community.

While events and awards ceremonies are getting postponed and cancelled across the world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation feels it is more important now than ever to continue to honour the professionals, organizations and establishments that have enhanced the industry.

Since 2007, the Spirited Awards have become one of the most sought-after awards, recognizing beverage professionals, products, and establishments across every facet of the spirits and cocktail community on a global scale. The award categories spotlight a range of talent from bartenders, journalists, and brand ambassadors, to brands and media, to ensure each aspect of the industry is well represented and recognized for its contributions. 

This year 13 South African bars made the regional honorees list in multiple categories, including the Vicious Virgin Bar in Cape Town as a hot favourite in the Best New International Cocktail Bar category.
