Celebrating the Life of John Lermayer

Miami said goodbye far too soon to John Lermayer, the award-winning bartender and founding father of the Miami Beach cocktail enclave Sweet Liberty. To commemorate his passing (just one year ago) and celebrate his life, Sweet Liberty is hosting a rotation of internationally beloved food and beverage pop-ups, all flying into town for the occasion. Top bartenders from Café la Trova (Miami), Basik (NYC), Katana Kitten (NYC), Ghost Donkey (NYC), Spare Room (LA) and Occidental (Denver) will be on deck, as well as guest DJ Chris Bostick (a longtime friend of Lermayer’s). On Friday, the party kicks up a notch with live performances by Brendan O’ Hara and the Swayzees, followed by late-night tunes with Reid Waters.
