MIAMI (May 27, 2020) – Caribbean food and beverage industry aficionados have been raising their glasses every Friday evening to toast the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association’s (CHTA) new “Limin’ wid Taste” expositions by some of the region’s leading mixologists.

Each Friday, CHTA’s Taste of the Caribbean judges unite to bring the hospitality industry and Caribbean enthusiasts together in a celebration of Caribbean flavors, creativity, showmanship, and passion.

The six-week series, which began earlier this month, is a virtual addition to the famed annual Taste of the Caribbean combined culinary competition, food and beverage educational exchange, and Caribbean cultural showcase, which the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic derailed this year.

“We’re very pleased with the reach of our Friday limin’ sessions along with the exchange between the panelists and the audience as it highlights Taste of the Caribbean’s role as a facilitator of professional development for the food and beverage community,” said Vanessa Ledesma, Chief Operations Officer of CHTA, who promised the association will carry on serving informative and educational tourism sessions for the industry.

On Friday, May 29, Caribbean Bartender of the Year Jurnick Merced of Curaçao will explore “Culinary Tourism”; on Friday, June 5, Shana Rajahram, the 2018 Hall of Famer from Trinidad and Tobago, will examine “The Role of Women in Mixology”; while Ira Claxton of the U.S. Virgin Islands will focus on “Developing your brand” to close out the series on June 12.
