Tis’ the season to ‘Follow the Captain’ – Captain Morgan that is!
As the official spiced rum sponsor of the National Football League Captain Morgan teamed up with Super Bowl Champ Victor Cruz earlier this month to spice up the season with an epic house party in Greenwich Village, New York City!
The unforgettable house party stems from the brand’s season-long Follow the Captain campaign–a social media scavenger hunt for hidden QR codes that uncover exclusive and especially curated NFL adventures and prizes for fans.
The unforgettable house party set the scene for a festive NYC Soirée, decked out with red-hued lights, velvet couches, twinkling lights, and an impressive Captain Morgan ice-luge. The essence of the holiday season came together with a delicious display of gourmet Thanksgiving-inspired cuisine, complete with a massive charcuterie board, and vegan-friendly hors-d’œuvres, including maple-infused chik’n bites.
“I chose the whole menu”, Cruz says. “I didn’t necessarily shoot for the vegan options, but I knew we needed to have everything. I knew we needed to have different types of food. The arepas was all me. I was like we gotta have some Spanish flavor in there and I also wanted to be health conscious too.”
Those looking for a drink to accompany their choice of cuisine got to choose from a tasty selection of Captain Morgan cocktails topped with seasonal fruit.
Between the flow of Hip Hop and R&B hits, passed finger foods, and specialty drinks, guests were also welcome to get crafty and try their hand at a digital graffiti wall in the venue’s lower level.
The main event of the evening was the impressive musical performances, hand-picked by Cruz, himself. Guests and fans alike could witness memorable performances by Aminé and Smino who played a range of their classics such as “Caroline” and “Baguetti”.
Overall, the house party collaboration was certainly like no other and left guests with a unique and exclusive experience to remember, in addition to an affinity for Captain Morgan Spiced Rum!
