The cocktail featured was the El Diablo, a dark drink made from tequila and ginger beer topped off with a splash of crème de cassis and garnished with a lime a floral ensemble.
Following cocktail hour, guests enjoyed a five-course meal that was carefully selected to fit and compliment the Dinner in Black theme. Michael from Parts & Labour explained each course in full detail with a wine pairing for each item on the menu.
Some highlight courses of the night was the beet tartare and the devil’s food cake topped with a blackberry coulis. “They told me that it was beets I was eating, and was stunned,” said one of the guests, ”Absolutely amazing!”
