You've heard of dinner theater?  Well, drinks theater is way better!  Only Bacardi could bring Off-Broadway to The French Quarter with this critically-acclaimed, smash-hit musical comedy, on special break from its sold-out run in New York City!  Join world-renowned mixologist and raconteur Anthony Caporale along with a glittering cast of guest stars for a boozy romp through the history of spirits and cocktails!  Founder Ann Tuennerman calls The Imbible "a super addition to Tales of the Cocktail!"

Combining history, science, and music along with three craft cocktails served during the performance, The Imbible sweeps audiences along a 10,000-year journey through history and across the globe accompanied by the vocal stylings of The Backwaiters acapella group.  Sit back and enjoy the music and drinks while Anthony holds forth on all things alcoholic, traces their economic and political impact on our cultural development, conducts live demonstrations of brewing mead and distilling spirits, and – like any good bartender – keeps his guests laughing throughout the night!  Combining Anthony’s encyclopedic knowledge of beverage history and decades of bartending experience with his legendary skills as a storyteller and entertainer, The Imbible treats audiences to a completely original and thoroughly enjoyable evening of immersive theatre utterly unlike anything they’ve ever experienced.  Renowned beverage writer Robert Haynes-Peterson declares that “while the show is wholly entertaining for the average civilian, it’s particularly poignant for bartenders, cocktailians, and distillery geeks.”
