Upon arrival, guests in attendance will nosh on light bites prepared by Executive Chef Alastair Mclean and have the option to sip on a special edition cocktail called the Kennedy ($10), a refreshing concoction of grapefruit vodka, hot jalapeño, pineapple juice, simple syrup and soda water, of which all proceeds will benefit Kennedy’s fundraising efforts.
