By: Soltado Tequila The event kicked off with a Friday night Jetport VIP showcase and charity auction, located in a massive aircraft hangar at the Orlando International Airport, with a portion of proceeds going to Kids Beating Cancer, the official charity for Festivals of Speed. While interacting hands-on with spectacular supercars, indulgent food and desserts, and a live eight piece jazz band, guests were able to enjoy the festivities with a handcrafted cocktail from the Soltado Tequila Gourmet Margarita Station, with their mixologists muddling in fresh blackberries, preserves, garden mint, and tropical fruits into Soltado's spicy, organic Serrano and chile infused añejo tequila margarita base. For traditional margarita enthusiasts, a sweet and salty 'golden' rim was offered, made with cinnamon, brown sugar, and spices. Throughout the event, guests returned, experimenting with new combinations of flavors and ingredients, sharing in an adventurous cocktail experience. The most requested cocktail of the night, however, was Soltado's Blackberry Mint Cocktail, featuring Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila, blackberry jam, lime, mint leaves, and fresh blackberries. Festivals of Speed Orlando's second day featured a VIP Sunday brunch, hosted on location at the Ritz Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes. Once again, Festivals of Speed Orlando's Official Cocktail Sponsor, Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila, was on hand to offer guests a refreshing handcrafted cocktail-this time, a choice of a Soltado Spicy Bloody Maria, or a Soltado Skinny Margarita, within the VIP Supercar Lounge. Guests commented that both Soltado Tequila's bloody Maria's and the under 170 calorie margarita were some of the best they'd ever tried. Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes bartender, Alex, said that, 'in over a decade working in the business', he 'had never tasted anything like it', and commented that he 'had all kinds of ideas!' for what he'd like to make with Soltado's Serrano chile infused tequila. At the end of brunch, over two dozen bottles of Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila were served to a thirsty audience of affluent spectators, including David and Kathy Siegal, Steve Harvey, and other celebrities, with crowds of thousands roving the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes property. In total, the event and sponsors helped to raise over $20,000 for Kids Beating Cancer, a local Winter Park, Florida based charity.
