Steakhouse brand Smith & Wollensky has teamed up with Howie D of the Backstreet Boys to launch The Coquí Cocktail. Created by Christian Gianaris, the restaurant’s national beverage director, the tropical drink is inspired by the singer’s latest single, Coquí.
Priced at $20, the Coquí blends Puerto Rican coconut rum, blue Curaçao, coconut water, lemon juice and prosecco. It’s garnished with edible flowers and glitter for an eye-catching presentation.
The Coqui is now available at Smith & Wollensky’s Miami and Las Vegas locations through the end of August. The collaboration brings together Howie D’s music and Puerto Rican heritage with a limited-time summer cocktail experience at two of Smith & Wollensky’s destination locations.
