Miami, FL – May 21, 2021 – Refreshed with new offerings this year, Croquetas & Craft Cocktails was back for another round of gourmet croquetas accented by a uniquely crafted cocktail experience. Some of the best craft, small batch and artisanal spirits around, combined with numerous iterations of the delicious fried snack created a hip setting at the artistic Jungle Plaza in the Miami Design District.

The Miami Design District is a creative neighborhood and shopping destination dedicated to innovative fashion, design, art, architecture and dining. South Florida darling Eileen Andrade, the talented chef behind West Kendall’s popular Finka Table + Tap restaurant, her croqueta specialist – and brother – Jonathan Andrade, and one of Miami’s top mixologists Gio Gutierrez aka @ChatChowTV, served as the evening’s hosts as they celebrated this classic Cuban snack and capped it all off with cocktails specially curated by Gutierrez. Whether they stem from a fine dining restaurant, gas station lunch counter, grocery store, or local bakery, local food authority Sef Gonzalez – better known as the beloved Burger Beast – tracked down the best in the city and brought them together for this late-night tasting affair.
