The Sun Tequila Tasting returned to Mohegan Sun’s casino and resort on July 22. Sponsored by Patrón, Beam Suntory and Rémy Cointreau, the annual event provides a brand showcase of agave-based spirits from a variety of suppliers and distributors, with tequila, mezcal, margaritas and more. Guests enjoyed margaritas and live entertainment at the outdoor Premier Patrón Patio event. Partygoers also mixed their own margaritas using the Patrón blender bike, snapped pics at a variety of photo booths and enjoyed live music by DJ Rico and Fiesta del Norte throughout the evening. Tequila fans paired the many offerings with savory Mexican fare provided by Hot Taco Street Kitchen of Cromwell. The event concluded with a Toast With the Host event featuring Todd English at novelle. Approximately 966 guests attended the tequila tasting, with $992 raised to benefit the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut.
