"Tamu Curtis moved to Charlotte in 2012 to launch her first brand, Liberate Your Palate, a traveling cocktail class where she hosted fun but educational cocktail events around the area. This September, she opened The Cocktailery, a barware and cocktail supply store that also offers mixology classes and team-building events and features an all-Black, all-woman staff. Curtis also sells several products from Black-owned Hella Cocktail Co. including the brand’s apple blossom bitters and a ginger and turmeric bitters & soda."
