B2G Premium Launches The "Shake & Serve Cocktail"

B2G Premium Beverage and Catering Solutions Ltd. has launched their one-of-a-kind 'Shake & Serve Cocktails'. The upscale company which caters to the chicest entertainment events decided to up the ante and launch the new venture because, quite simply, they saw it as a necessity.

According to Managing Director of the company, Mrs. Patrice Wilson-McHugh, "Always hiring persons to mix seemingly difficult cocktails should be a thing of the past. It's so much easier to do it yourself if it's just a low-key get-together with friends or a quick lyme. As a result B2G Premium decided to once again cater to our great clientele and give them great cocktails without the hassle. The 'Shake & Serve Cocktails' distributed by B2G Premium, is as simple as it sounds: all they need to do is literally open the add ice,  shake, then serve."

B2G Premium, a subsidiary of the Bars to Go Group of Companies - also home to Bars to Go, Gourmet to Go and the Bars to Go Training Institute - was formed earlier this year to cater to the island's most intimate and, as the name suggests, premium events.

In addition, Mrs. Wilson-McHugh added, "B2G Premium only recruits and trains the most professional and experienced bartenders, mixologists, chefs and waiters; individuals who bring knowledge, enthusiasm and personality to the ever-growing cocktail, catering and event world. In addition, we execute events across Jamaica with the utmost professionalism and precision . So it shouldn't be surprising that we would add something as exquisite as the 'Shake and Serve Cocktails' to our portfolio to further cater to our clients."
