RCR Launchpad Party

Kick off RCR 2024 with a party dedicated to spirits making their Rochester debut.

Nine booze brands — Nàdar Gin, Fosforo Mezcal, Tierra de Ensueño Tequila, Widow Jane Baby Jane, Hendrick’s Cabaret, Albany Distilling, Hard Truth, Lake Hour and Barry’s Irish Cream — are teaming up with RCR bartenders for a live showcase of cocktails created with their brand new spirits.

Rock to the sounds of the Honey Smugglers, and be ready to vote for your favorite new hooch! Snacks will be available; nine tastings included with each ticket.

Must be 21+ and show ID for entry.

The sixth and final Ziggy’s daiquiri competition will follow this event at Essex beginning at 10p.
