Troops Live Love Leblon

Hey Stef,

Thanks for the Leblon! With no fresh fruit here in the desert, we’ve been quite inventive and came up with a few new drinks:

Mortar-Shell Muddle

Commando Caipirinha

Machine Gun Mojito

Bolo Knife Breeze

I’ll send you the recipes later. Gotta run. I think enemy forces are trying to run off with my muddler!

Happy Holidays

There’s no better way to celebrate the end of a crazy year than with friends and a delicious cocktail. Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Leblon Virtual Mixology Challenge

matthew — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:37:26 +0000

The Leblon Virtual Mixology Challenge kicked off at the Global Gallery on the 16th floor of The Plaza in Downtown Orlando overlooking the Orlando city lights and Lake Eola on Sunday, November 16, 2008.

A guest list of 450 of Orlando’s “young, industry, trendy and influential” guests, as put by Sarah Ehrlich, Leblon’s Florida Regional Manager, included such guests as Professional Wake Boarder Parks Bonifay, Chris Kirkpatrick from N’Sync, Leblon Owner Gerry Schwitzer, and radio personalities Tiffany Martin from Real Radio 104.1 and Mel Taylor from 101.1 WJRR.

Everyone had an amazing time being entertained by not only samba dancers and capoeira performers, but also by the opportunity to sample 8 different cocktail recipes submitted by some of Orlando’s most prestigious venues.

Our Virtual Mixology Challenge Finalists were:
Quinn from Tempanos
Sean from Samba Room
Scott from the Rosen Center Hotel
Christian from Latin Quarter
Brianna from Club 23 on Church Street
Pat from Howl at the Moon on International Drive

Finally, our winners:
Jeremy from Luma on Park
Jessica from CityWalks’ Rising Star

All finalists were awarded Leblon gift bags and our 2 winners, Jessica and Jeremy, will each enjoy an all-expense paid weekend trip for two to South Beach’s Shore Club.

All guests left the evening with an amazing swag bag which included a Leblon muddler, Leblon CD, 200ml bottle of Leblon, necklace, and brochure heading over to Club 23, which later hosted the Leblon after party. The event was a tremendous success and the cocktails were a hit!

Chaise Lounge - Samba Party

matthew — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:06:17 +0000

Hope you can join us at Chaise Lounge (1840 W. North Ave, Chicago) where you will get to taste, vote and mingle with some of the hottest Samba dancers in the Midwest.

The evening starts out with a prix fixe dinner from one of Chicago’s best culinary talents, chef Cary Taylor. This is one of the best meals and deals in an elegant environment.

The fun does not end until your taste buds have been tantalized, your mind has been stimulated, your thirst quenched and your feet ache.

Leblon Supports the New World Symphony

matthew — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:21:25 +0000

The New World Symphony event was held at the Gibson Guitar showroom in the Design District of Miami, a very cool event space with a real rock and roll feel. About 300 people showed up to support New World Symphony. It was a mixed crowd of professionals and hipsters and everyone had a great time. There was a terrific performance by Locos por Juana and the guests were all dancing, mingling, drinking Leblon and having fun! The music was great and the Pineapple Mint and Grape Five Second Caipirinhas were delicious!
