With the A-listers inside, along with top-notch DJs, the MLB All-Star Game Party hit a home run, bringing sizzling energy to the 1 Hotel South Beach. Guests sipped on specialty Tequila Don Julio cocktails such as The Wild Card made with Tequila Don Julio Reposado, passion fruit purée, agave, lime juice and fresh jalapeño, created by renowned mixologist Julio Cabrera, while VIPs enjoyed an exclusive Don Julio 1942 tasting bar. Micah Johnson of the Atlanta Braves created a painting live in front of the VIP crowd, to be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Miami. Guests enjoyed a special performance from Aminé and a DJ set by Metro Boomin.
