Cinco de Mayo

Guests were ready to salsa their way into a taste bud extravaganza on Cinco de Mayo! And the Jamaica Food and Drink Kitchen pulled out all the stops to host a Tequilas, Beers, and Mezcal Party that was a feast for the senses on Friday, May 5. With a line-up of spirits from Select Brands, CPJ, Heineken, Conejo en La Luna, and Chas E Ramson, attendees were in for a treat. The Kitchen was a hive of activity, bustling with guests who eagerly anticipated an evening filled with cocktails, shots, and the opportunity to craft their own margaritas.

To set the mood, deejays Rio and Brush1 Chromatic had the crowd revved up, dancing to an infusion of Mexican and dancehall music, creating the perfect backdrop for a celebration of Mexican culture and culinary delights.
