About the Immersion: What if a cocktail could tell the story of your destination? In this interactive and flavorful session, discover how Visit Phoenix turned local ingredients into a powerful branding tool with The Phoenix, the city’s official signature cocktail.     

Learn how tourism leaders, mixologists, and community partners collaborated to craft a drink that captures the city’s spirit—literally—and how it now serves as a tool for storytelling and visitor engagement.   

Enjoy a tasting of The Phoenix cocktail, get behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process, and take part in a hands-on exercise to uncover how your destination’s natural flavors, cultural roots, and signature vibes can be transformed into meaningful, marketable experiences that travel far and wide.
