Tonight I have the pleasure of helping mix up a NYC networking party by offering a fun "Shake Off". Each guest gets the opportunity to use professional bar tending tools to shake their cocktail. The person with the best shake is awarded fun prizes. I'm hoping this gets people talking and laughing which will allow for new connections! I'll post photos tomorrow.
Here is tonight's special Summer Shake Off drink.
