The Jamming Sessions: Miami
Last week, Casa Dragones Blanco held its first Miami Jamming Session at The Rum Line at Loews Miami Beach, hosted by The Rum Line’s master mixologist Rob Ferrara, who greeted guests with his delicious “Mi Casa es Su Casa” cocktail. Previous Jamming Sessions were in San Miguel de Allende and New York.
Casa Dragones Jamming Sessions invite industry experts to jam together, spontaneously creating one-of-a-kind, signature cocktails using fresh local ingredients. During the Miami Jamming Session, five of Miami’s top mixologists competed against one another for the best Casa Dragones Blanco signature cocktail.
The competition began with Gui from The Broken Shaker, who created the “A Rose By Any Other Name” cocktail inspired by the tasting notes of Casa Dragones Blanco. Next up was Anna from Coyo Taco who crafted the ”Anna Bananna Paleta Rita,” a fun and playful fusion of Casa Dragones Blanco and a lemon popsicle. The second group included Bryan of Bodega who made the“Pico y Picante” and Richard of Prime Fish who made the “Dragon Slayer,” inspired by the hot and humid Miami weather. The last contestant was Isaac of Repour with the winning cocktail,“I’m in Love with A Mojo,” a refreshing mixture of mojito jam and coconut syrup.
The judging panel included Fred Gonzalez of The Miami Herald, Laine Doss of Miami New Times and Gio Gutierrez of ChatChow TV.
These brand new signature cocktails will each be available to taste at the participating bartenders establishments. We’re looking forward to more Casa Dragones Blanco Jamming Sessions in the near future.
