I'll take a Mojito please

How about a refreshing brewski?

Miami took it a step further. With FNO events taking place all over the city, Macy's at Aventura Mall teamed up with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau and added an extra "umph" to their festivities. They incorporated Flavors of Miami Spice; a culinary experience highlighting the Miami Spice promotion taking place from August 1st to September 30th. Several participating restaurants handed out samples of their cuisine while guests enjoyed complimentary Mojitos and Pina Coladas from Bacardi, as well as refreshing beer from Stella Artois.
