A new social and community event club called Coconut Grove Connect is starting next week. The first meeting is Wednesday July 12, being held at Ariete, which will be a "Mixology Hour." The meeting is from 5 to 7 pm.
Founder of the group, Michael Mann invites guests to come and enjoy a complimentary drink and socialize while viewing a demonstration on two summer cocktails from one of the mixologists. I love his concept.
"My plan is to have an event each month at a new venue in the Grove to help promote the local businesses and to bring the community together both young and old to socialize and really get to know your local neighbors," says Michael.
Upcoming events will be sushi making hour at Sushi Maki as well as gelato making hour as well. Each event has a purpose to allow interaction among guests instead of the typical networking and happy hour event.
Ariete is located at 3540 Main Highway. Get more info at coconutgroveconnection.com
