Familiar with our Mama Needs A Drink column? Well, we decided to turn that concept into reality by partnering with Campari America to bring a group of incredibly talented and influential moms together in San Francisco for an afternoon away from the kids, filled with great conversation and stiff drinks.
Rye On The Road served up a killer build-your-own Bloody Mary bar with one’s choice of SKYY Vodka or Espolòn Tequila, complete with an incredible spread of garnishes including pickled veggies, bacon, cheese, and shrimp, as well as an Aperol Spritz station, made even prettier with a selection of beautiful, edible flowers to sprinkle on top of the brightly colored spirit!
Beyond the drinks, we had Seed + Salt serve up a mouth-watering spread of light bites, along with a selection of savory local cheeses from Tomales Farmstead Creamery. To hit the sweet spot, there was a table piled high with an impressive array of tasty desserts by none other than Miss Jones Baking Co.
The beyond incredible Emily Huffman provided personal tarot card readings to our guests, Smilebooth set up a fun-filled photo booth, and our setting was made even more stunning with lush florals by Mandolin Flowers and “Aperol orange”-colored decor from Oh Happy Day!
The cherry on top? Our guests entered to win a beautiful brass bar cart from Crate & Barrel, stocked with barware from Williams-Sonoma, and took home our “treat yo self”-themed Blabla giftbags filled with beauty goodies from Tata Harper and Captain Blankenship, a Cosabella gift card, Miss Jones Baking Co. mixes, an issue of Cherrybombe Magazine, and more, while rides to and from the event were provided by Uber.
Needless to say, we had a blast! Check out our party pics below to join in/relive the fun.
