Guests mingled to the beats of the talented DJ Willy Monfret as they enjoyed sips of Tanqueray No. 10’s delicious signature cocktails, the Green Machine (made with fresh pressed green juice, cucumber, lime and mint leaves) and the Watermelon Cooler (made with fresh pressed watermelon juice, lemon, lime and basil leaves). The two light and refreshing cocktails tasted as good as they looked.
