Taking place from 7 – 10 p.m., the seasonally themed party will have four fully immersive rooms dedicated to each time of the year. Each space will offer two cocktails inspired by their respective period. Drinks will be crafted from the Project’s spirits including EFFEN Vodka, Hornitos Tequila, Maker’s Mark and Knob Creek Bourbon.
