60 Second Cocktails with Bacardi

Thursday, June 16, 2011

This April, the United Way Miami Wine & Food Festival experienced record-breaking ticket sales and sold out events.  To meet popular demand, the festival is launching a series of year-round wine and food events – all for a good cause.  60 Second Cocktails with Bacardi is the kick-off event marking the expansion, and all proceeds will benefit United Way of Miami-Dade’s work in education, financial stability and health.

Just in time for summer, on June 16, guests will brush up on their bartending skills and learn how to make delicious cocktails, with help from Bacardi mixologist and Miami-native, Gabe Urrutia who is an expert in the cocktail trend of molecular mixology.  He will teach guests how to make a balanced cocktail from a blend of unique ingredients in just 60 seconds.

 

A Bacardi Bar cocktail reception will follow, where guests will enjoy cocktails, appetizers, music, a special gift and exclusive entry to the private Emilio Bacardi Company Museum, not open to the general public.  The museum showcases historical photos and memorabilia dating back to the 1860s, a recount of the company’s evolution, how Bacardi adopted its world famous “Bat” trademark, and much more.

$45 pp – Mixology workshop and entry to the Bacardi Bar cocktail reception
