Cocktails, Style Meet in Miami

(PRESS RELEASE)_Showfields, the most interesting store in the world, has teamed up with leading beverage company Diageo, to debut Miami Spirit, a new Miami-inspired art installation in the experiential Lincoln Road store. As an ode to the Magic City, three Miami artists – Jessy Nite, Francesco Lo Castro and Rose Et Pivoines – have debuted various works of art that represent three iconic Miami architectural styles and are inspired by custom Diageo cocktails.
 
Helping to boost the arts and culture renaissance of Miami Beach’s iconic Lincoln Road, this installation, which runs now through December, will welcome guests into its sprawling, inspiring and colorfully clad space for three months before refreshing with a brand-new trio of brands, cocktails and artists.
 
As a flavorful tribute to our colorful city, three uniquely Miamian cocktails and architectural designs have served as inspiration for the artists’ works.

• Jessy Nite’s eye-catching neon space embodies Miami’s most iconic style, Tropical Art Deco, while drawing inspiration from Don Julio’s Tropideco cocktail 
  • About the installation: Bringing Miami’s tropical art deco to life like never before, Jessy poured out a rich, Don Julio Blanco blue over her space’s architectural elements, which she covered with intricate reliefs that speak to Miami’s native flora and fauna, as well as the subtle notes behind every sip of Don Julio. Throw in a few brightly painted plants and an eye-catching neon and the ode to Miami’s most iconic style is complete.
  • About the cocktail: Tropideco features tantalizing tequila, sugary syrups and exotic spices poured over fresh picked pineapples and refreshing coconut water. 

 

• Roses Et Pivoines’ vibrant floral display represents the Mediterranean Revival design found throughout the Magic City with Ketel One Botanical’s Sun & Citrus serving as the blossoming inspiration. 
  • About the installation: Flowing from the ceiling and pouring down the walls, Roses et Pivoines brings Miami, Ketel One botanicals and Mediterranean Revival style to life through vibrant, overflowing florals. Using an array of brand inspired florals, grapefruits/roses and a brand-centric pastel peach color palette, Roses created a lush wonderworld that stirs up Ketel One Botanicals brand while paying homage to Miami’s Mediterranean influencer
  • About the cocktail: Fresh lime and juicy grapefruits meddle Sun & Citrus as effervescent soda, sweet agave and spicy jalapeños bring botanicals to blossom.

 

• Francesco Lo Castro emulates Miami’s modern architecture with a sleek, white, wall installation, inspired by the effortlessness of Johnnie Walker’s Magic City Highball 
  • About the installation: White, modern, simple and sleek, Francesco’s stunning wall installations are resin made masterpieces with multiple levels and curving pieces that come together almost effortlessly – like a Johnnie Walker Cocktail. Throughout it all, Francesco weaved in vibrant yet subtle Johnnie Walker colors to further shine a light on the brand behind it all through his detail intensive style – all while reflecting the city he calls home and the modern style found throughout several neighborhoods in Miami
  • About the cocktail: The Magic City Highball features Johnnie swirled with coconut blends, fresh key lime, and soft boba pearls amidst the throes of passion fruit. 

                  
 
The 305-inspired cocktails will be available to the public at various Showfields events from now through December.
