On December 5, in celebration of National Repeal Day, Madison Beach Hotel hosted a Prohibition-style costumed cocktail party. Attendees agreed, it was the cat’s meow.
The concept was introduced by Lead Bartender Mike Mills who worked with General Manager John Mathers to assemble an impressive array of distributors and innovative libations.
Many guests arrived in full 1930’s costume for which prizes were awarded.
