A Tallahassee entrepreneur with an MBA is a ‘master mixologist’ who plans to really shake things up with her unique hospitality business

Raspberry rum splashes against the subtle sweetness of smashed strawberries that mingle briefly with ice before snuggling with champagne in a flute.

The blush red cocktail, called Berries & Bubbles, was created by Kevin Hoover.

“BACARDI B-LIVE offers a premium interactive environment and the best in musical acts,” said

Billy Melnyk, experiential marketing manager, BACARDI rums. “We’re looking forward to bringing this unique BACARDI experience to consumers (21+) across the U.S. this summer with the BACARDI B-LIVE events.”

Happy hour is getting happier, and that’s making restaurants sadder.

Ready to party ’til you drop for the inaugural?  You’re in luck. A total of 213 bars, restaurants and nightclubs formally registered with the D.C.

Holiday season leftovers often contain the makings for some tempting cocktails

Decisions can be difficult: aisle or window? Scallops or chicken? Go to law school and buy a condo or join a nomadic tribe of goatherds and wander the distant plains? When ordering a drink, the decision is usually straightforward: beer or a cocktail (we’ll conveniently ignore wine for now) but in a number of bars and restaurants, the decision is getting easier as bartenders blur the lines between beer and spirits by serving drinks that combine the two.

In the cutting-edge cocktail culture, ice is emerging as an ingredient as important as the spirits themselves.

You’ve got to love a restaurant whose motto is “Changing the world one meal at a time.” That goes for its cocktail list, too.

No way, say the ladies of LUPEC
