As the behemoth Tales of the Cocktail convention winds down today in the French Quarter, the Museum of the American Cocktail prepares to greet the public in its new permanent home at its grand opening Monday, July 21 at 10:30 am.

Relocated to the Riverwalk (inside the new Southern Food & Beverage Museum), MOAC features memorabilia and exhibits drawn from more than 200 years of tippling and sipping, and its inaugural exhibit is a special salute to the art of the drink in New Orleans.

The public is invited to the opening; you can RSVP here.
