Party Dispatch: Muse Hotel's "Mix, Match and Splash" Cocktail Challenge
We were on hand the other night for the "Mix, Match and Splash" cocktail challenge hosted by the Muse Hotel in Times Square to benefit the Dress for Success charity.
The winning team of the cocktail challenge would have their drink served at the silverleaf tavern at 70 Park Avenue for the month of April as well as be treated to a private cocktail party for up to 10.
Despite the best efforts of an SFO*Media team (Juliana, Sedona and JetSetCD) who were helped along by a few others, the winning team was The Dream Girls with their "Dream" cocktail.
The cocktail is two parts light rum, with one parts orange juice, cranberry juice and pineapple juice mixed in with a splash of pink grapefruit and club soda served in a martini glass and garnished with a lemon peel.
Although the competition was fierce, the party was not all about the cocktails. The event also held a raffle and an auction where party-goers could bid on trips like a roundtrip on American Airlines for 2 people, and 5 nights at any Kimpton hotel, redeemable until April 2009. We think we heard the winning bid was at $1,200.
One-hundred percent of the event proceeds and auction items were donated to Dress for Success and all proceeds of the Dream cocktail will go to the non-profit as well. It's the drink that keeps on giving.
