Cocktail Wars At Newport’s New Mariner Gallery (Video)
Newport’s Mariner Gallery had been open for less than 24 hours when it hosted Cocktail Wars Summer Splash.
The finishing touches for the Mariner Gallery, located at 267 Spring Street, were made just before its grand opening the evening of Saturday, June 29th. At noon on Sunday, the Cocktail Wars crowd rolled in to what’s likely the most intimate and certainly the best decorated of venues for a cocktail competition. For more information about the Mariner Gallery, check out the gallery’s website.
The event was sponsored by Broken Shed Vodka, a whey-based vodka imported from New Zealand.
