Miami's Art week will never taste the same as Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin partners with Mandarin Oriental and Aubi & Ramsa, a Miami-based ice cream enterprise that combines the classic creamy dessert with alcoholic spirits, to host "A Taste of Art", a special exhibit where art lovers can immerse themselves in an entirely reimagined way through curated programming that blends art, food, and cocktails. 

The exhibit will showcase the curated works of artist John Collingwood, an international beverage consultant who has created a set of 17 paintings. As a part of the engaging experience, guests can indulge in a visual and tasty feast with artwork prominently displayed throughout the luxury property -- with each artwork inspiring one-of-a-kind tasting experiences.

The paintings aptly represent the qualities of the cocktail they embody, including four paintings inspired by his love of classic gin-based cocktails. To mark the occasion, MO Bar + Lounge will offer prime viewing of the artworks paired with tastings of three of the cocktails using Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin. In addition, MO Bar + Lounge will highlight The Martinez, a classic cocktail highly regarded as the precursor to the Martini.
