In a night bursting with flavours, fashion, and engaging conversations, Ocean Spray took centre stage at the Jamaica Food and Drink Festival’s Pork Palooza.

Presenting their exclusive signature cocktails, Absolut White and Stormy Bog, Ocean Spray transformed mixology into an unforgettable festival goer experience.

The November 2 event, hosted on the lawns of Hope Gardens, was an ode to the versatility of pork and the pivotal role that cocktails play in enhancing the overall gastronomic adventure.

Yanique Dawkins, brand coordinator for Pepsi Cola Jamaica, home of Ocean Spray, shared her enthusiasm, “At Ocean Spray, we’re all about redefining the cocktail experience, and the Jamaica Food and Drink Festival’s Pork Palooza was the perfect platform to do just that. Our cocktails, Absolut White and Stormy Bog were crafted passionately, reflecting our commitment to pushing the boundaries of mixology.”

Absolut White, a vodka-based cocktail made with Ocean Spray White Cranberry, dazzled attendees with its flavours. On the other hand, Stormy Bog, a rum-based cocktail, ignited guests’ imagination with its innovative use of Ocean Spray Cranberry, gold rum and ginger beer. 

The overall response from the attendees is that these cocktails weren’t just beverages — they were an experience!

Ocean Spray’s presence at Pork Palooza highlights the brand’s dedication to the art of mixology and to fostering the gastronomy scene locally.
