On May 13, a promotional event for Ketel One vodka took place at New York's Sir 37. To let guests experience the brand's classic and flavored varieties, a tasting bar was stocked with sample pours. Ketel One's national mixologist, Ricky Gomez, led attendees through the taste test.

Casual snacks accompanied the free-flowing Pepsi. At a nacho bar, guests could top corn tortilla chips with pico de gallo and cilantro.
