Kahlúa is out to inspire consumers to shake things up this season and to do so the brand took over New York City’s iconic Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. The outdoor cocktail soiree and movie screening was hosted by Mistresses star, Jes Macallan.
“We have always embraced Kahlúa as a classic cocktail liqueur, but this season, we’re excited to shake things up a bit for our fans,” said Brian Mequet, Vice President, Rum and Liqueurs, Pernod Ricard USA. “We want to show consumers that there is a retro-cool way to do summertime cocktails and parties. Our Kahlúa Summer Shake-Up campaign will inspire you to whip, shake and mix-up all of your favorite activities.”
Kahlúa will feature classic summer cocktail parties and movie screenings through a unique and non-traditional series of events in select markets across the country. To get you in on the action, Kahlúa social media channels will serve as the hub of entertaining and cocktailing inspiration. Their summer cocktails are sure to have your party rocking.
