Here are a few photos from the event. Nice turnout, and the rums were excellent, especially the Dos Maderas PX (5+5), a great sipping rum. Special guest mixologist Freddy Diaz of AlambiQ Mixology was on hand to make Mai Tais with Dos Maderas. And The Mai-Kai whipped up some special Hidden Pearls with Fortuna 8.
