Tastebuds were cleared for takeoff last Friday as Destination Cocktails — an immersive culinary and cocktail journey — transformed the Jamaica Food and Drink Kitchen (JFDK) inside the Progressive Shopping Centre into a glamorous world tour of flavour and style. Patrons, dressed to the nines, indulged in an evening of fine selections and mixology ahead of National Rum Day. It was nothing short of spectacular as they enjoyed Appleton Estate’s curated cocktails, paired with food from different cultures around the world.
