Miami Beats and Sazon

Sazoneros! Cin co de Mayo is right around the corner and last year, I attended a really great party so I thought I'd share this hot spot with you. With the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop, Miami’s only oceanfront Mexican restaurant, Cantina Beach at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne , transforms into the colorful streets of Mexico for a festive evening. The party will include stilt walkers, mariachis, complimentary guacamole bites, and the largest collection in the region, 110 tequilas. G uests can enjoy $5 tastes of authentic Mexican treats, while the resort’s mixologist “battle it out” mixing the evening’s featured margaritas, Imperial Margarita , prepared with Napoleon Mandarin Liqueur from France, versus, the Black Diamond Margarita, made with Maestro Dobel Tequila from Mexico. T he event will take place on Sunday, May 5th , from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. so tell your friends and I'll see you there . Check out a picture of Cantina Beach below. CHEERS !
