DELL Technologies will debut their DELL Canvas driven by Windows Creator, a perfect match for those who have a passion for design. Guests will enjoy carefully crafted cocktails by spirits brand, Cointreau, whose mantra celebrates ‘the art of entertaining’. The brand will also give patrons a chance to create their own cocktail, complete with recipes just in time for the holiday season. Barefoot Wine and Bubbly returns with the premiere of their new Barefoot Refresh Spritzers, perfect for hot Miami nights.
