Philanthropic Fun: Cocktails for City Park
Chairs Meghann Holland and Alexis Claire Tripplehorn Hall

Aptly named “Martini Madness,” Friends of City Park hosted a craft cocktail-forward celebration at the Arbor Room at Popp Fountain, joined by a sold-out crowd of 1,100 guests.

Friends of City Park collaborated with Republic National Distributing Company to serve over 30 martinis, including a French 75 Martini, Watermelon Spicetini, Ginger Hibiscus Martini, The Swedish Paloma, Ponchatoula-tini, Cucumber Lemonade Martini, Spiced Pear Pom Pom, Elderflower Gimlet and a “Make Your Own Martini Bar.”

The Beer Garden of Martini Madness included four breweries serving tastings of their crafted beers: Urban South, NOLA Brewing, Gnarly Barley and Port Orleans Brewing Co.

The menu featured savory delectables from more than 32 restaurants. Guests mingled and danced to the DJ’s performance as well as posed for photos at the Insta Station, complete with props, a lounge area from NOLA Woodworks outdoor furniture and sunglasses provided by Louisiana CAT.
