Cocktails and Karaoke at CUESA – A Perfect Summer Evening in SF

Yacht Rock: Summer Cocktails of the Farmers Market rocked the Bay, with cocktails made from Ferry Building Farmers Market fruit blended with incredible alcohols from around the world, with a smattering of karaoke from Digital Underground to Kenny Loggins and the Epicuring team’s horrible rendition of the Love Boat theme song.

The yacht attire costume contest inspired sustainable cocktail lovers to don their reds, whites, blues, and top siders in a festive event topped off by perfect weather.

Be sure to stay tuned for the next CUESA cocktail event in November. It was a really fabulous party!
