100 Years of Gatsby: A Cocktail Celebration at the Fitzgerald at Palisades 

WHAT:        Join us Thursday, October 23, for 100 Years of Gatsby, an immersive celebration of F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless classic, hosted at The Fitzgerald of Palisades. This one-of-a-kind event will transport guests back to the Roaring Twenties, where elegance met excess, one pour at a time. 

The afternoon will be headlined by none other than Kapri Robinson, award-winning bartender, Netflix Drink Masters finalist, and 2024 Tales of the Cocktail Bartender of the Year. Kapri will craft an exclusive Prohibition-inspired cocktail experience, pouring signature drinks that reflect both the glamour of the era and her modern, groundbreaking artistry. 

With her globally recognized expertise and unapologetically fresh approach to hospitality, Kapri brings more than mixology; she brings movement, storytelling, and culture in every pour. It’s only fitting that this celebration takes place at The Fitzgerald of Palisades, a space rooted in bringing people together. Known for hosting gatherings that blend creativity, conversation, and culture, The Fitzgerald offers the perfect setting for an event that honors not just a literary legacy, but the community spirit that’s kept it alive for a century.
