In the spirit of Napoleon’s epic battles, Mandarine Napoléon, the 19th century citrus liqueur created for Napoléon Bonaparte, will conquer Tales of the Cocktail again this year with the battle of all battles – man vs. woman in the Third Annual Imperial Battle of the Sexes presented by Mandarine Napoléon.

In this truly unique event, taking place on Wednesday, July 15 at the Napoleon House, a group of the best male and female bartenders from around the country will face-off by creating their very own signature Mandarine Napoléon recipe, with guests given the opportunity to not only sample each bartender's cocktail but help determine their fate. Guests will also be able to enjoy New Orleans style cuisine featuring Mandarine Napoléon.

At the end, one sex will be determined the winner and hailed as the conquerors. Will the men reign again this year? Or will the women prevail? You help be the judge!

WHICH SEX WILL CONQUER ALL AT THIS YEAR’S BATTLE?
