Working with chefs and owners from Lucky Luna, a Mexican and Taiwanese restaurant in Greenpointe, Brooklyn, we’ve designed a night centered around bilí — a rum from the island of Vieques infused with vanilla bean, bay leaf, peppercorns and cinnamon. We’re keeping it intimate at 20 guests, and each ticket includes 5 courses with drink pairings.  Check out the menu below, and buy your tickets online.

Reservations are required, cancellations are honored though Nov. 14th.
For more information about this event, email Lucky Luna, and learn more about the Cocina Criolla Project.
