In celebration of the new partnership that will see the Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum range being poured at all of the 19 Sandals and Beaches properties throughout the Caribbean, the two global iconic brands created a signature cocktail — The Innovator — in honour of the Jamaica Observer Limited. Last week, Jonique Gaynor, public relations coordinator at Sandals Resorts International, colleague Ian Spence, regional PR manager for St Ann and St Mary, and Sandals Grande Riviera bartender Junior 'Why Not' Bishop visited our Beechwood Avenue head office for a mixing demonstration of the signature cocktail. Sip to more innovation with Thursday Food.
