Le Mixeur Sharky will descend gracefully upon the Bay Area Tuesday evening, as seven of the area's finest bars will be dedicating a portion of their drink offerings for the night to the Le Mixeur Sharky cause, with 100% of the proceeds for these drinks going to Special Place Foundation, a local non-profit providing a variety of services to individuals with disabilities in an urban community farm setting.
I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsors, without whose support the event simply would not exist. No way it would. So thank you to:
- Erick Castro and Plymouth/Beefeater Gin.
- Jackie Patterson and Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur/Lillet
- Dragos Axinte and Novo Fogo Cachaca
- Kiki Braverman and Pür Spirits
- Caitlin Davis and Campari America
- Espolon Tequila
Also, praise is due to Neyah White of Suntory, as well as Rich Trachtenberg and the Pacific Edge Wines and Spirits team.
