Over Memorial Day weekend, PRCW Summer Edition returns with seminars and activities designed for cocktail professionals and enthusiasts.
All roads lead west. The Island's premier cocktail event, Puerto Rico Cocktail Week (PRCW), will head for the first time to Punta Borinquen Resort, in Aguadilla, to celebrate its Summer Edition.
The event, led by women with distinguished careers in cocktails and wellness, will feature a variety of seminars and activities highlighting the unique flavors of the western region for the world.
This year's edition will be led exclusively by women, and all proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Tip Jar. That fund is designed to help industry workers during times of financial need and to provide free emotional health services, among other things.
"Summer is the perfect occasion to come together, celebrate and advance cocktail culture in the western region. We have seen the industry grow in the area, and with this PRCW Summer Edition we reaffirm our commitment to organizing events that highlight the work of hospitality professionals," said Deliana Olmo, co-founder of PRCW.
For bartenders
Among the featured guest experts are LP O'Brien, entrepreneur and winner of Netflix's Drink Masters series; Tara Fougner, co-founder of Thirsty Magazine and one of the most influential figures in the cocktail industry, according to Drinks International; and nutritionist Terelys Porrata.
For cocktail enthusiasts
On Saturday, May 26, there will be a sunset party where guests can mingle and enjoy cocktails, including low-alcohol and non-alcoholic options, created by their favorite brands.
The agenda for Monday, May 27, includes educational seminars and the well-known international women's cocktail speed competition Speed Rack.
All proceeds from Speed Rack ticket sales will go to Taller Salud.
"For the third consecutive year, we are proud to collaborate with Puerto Rico Cocktail Week and Speed Rack. This event gives people the opportunity to participate and contribute to equitable access to women's health and to reducing violence in our communities," said Yamilin Rivera, spokesperson for the nonprofit Taller Salud.
