Mid Century Modern Themed Cocktail Party
The Vintage Dish was so excited to partner with Chef Bob Aungst and Grander Rum to throw a retro, MCM cocktail party! The party package was a silent auction item at Make-Wish-Foundation's 2018 Wish Markers Ball. Every detail was handcrafted to perfectly represent the 1960s, including a menu straight from Betty Draper's book of entertaining!
Cocktails were created by Grander Rum, featuring their premium versions of rum, which is not your ordinary rum, by the way! A unique spirit, designed to be more like a bourbon or whiskey and nothing like a fruity coconut drink on the beach.
