As part of the infamous Manhattan Cocktail Classic, Heering and Xante hosted The Mercedes Club Sling Fling! on Saturday evening. The cocktail-inspired evening was a night to remember. Guests indulged in Pop-Up Mercedes Style & Beauty Bars where men could receive a brush-up, shave, shoe shine or mustache trim or hand and shoulder massages and facial consultations for the ladies. All the while, attendees downed classic Singapore Slings (featuring Cherry Heering) and Xante spiked sno-cones from Handsome Dan. Party-goers partook in fun games such as bocce ball, ping pong, pool, and practiced their putting, with food truck style bites tiding them over. Celebrity Chef Rob McCue was serving Red’s Char Grilled hot dogs, pulled pork sliders and chicken skewers to those at the event who were enjoying an amazing view from the Mercedes Club Rooftop, overlooking the Hudson. Additionally, guests could watch the classic film Blood & Sand in the outdoor theatre while being served Blood & Sand cocktails and enjoying fresh popcorn. Guests were sad to see the night end but toasted the evening with a final iced glass of Coffee Heering.
The evening helped benefit Speed Rack and Share in the fight against breast cancer.
