September 12: Rivera Fall Cocktail Menu Launch Party
Julian Cox didn’t even pause to catch his breath after co-hosting The Taste – Cocktail Confidential over Labor Day weekend before jumping right into launching the Fall Cocktail Menu at Rivera. On Wednesday, September 12th, Cox (Executive Bar Director at Rivera, Playa, Picca, Sotto and Short Order) and Bar Program Director Jeremy Lake are celebrating the new menu with a special launch party. For one night only from 9pm to close, the fall cocktails will be specially priced at just $9 each.
The Rivera Fall Cocktail Menu follows after the jump.
