A Foodie’s Favorite Virtual Event

Posted on May 26, 2021 - by Rachel Asher

Looking for a fun way to engage with clients after a long year on screens? Our live virtual cooking and mixology events are a huge hit!

DLM organized a mixology mixer for Effectv to entertain a group of new clients.  We hired critically acclaimed and award-winning Miami mixologist, Isaac Grillo, who stole the show with his tasty libations and entertaining personality.  In advance of the event, we shipped each client a kit including all the ingredients needed to make two of Isaac's famous cocktails. The evening proved to be the perfect ice breaker for getting to know new clients.

The mixology event was such a big hit that Effectv asked us to produce a similar culinary event for a different group of clients, hosted by Justin Sutherland!  As an added touch, we asked Justin to pre-record a video to invite Effectv's clients to the virtual cooking event.  The response was so great that we had to increase our headcount to accommodate!  Our custom meal prep and whiskey tasting kits included top of the line ingredients and shipped overnight to each clients' home with a message from the hosts and branded recipe cards (we love the personal touch!). Clients sipped on Justin's signature Tattersall bottled Manhattan and Old Fashioned while cooking up one of his go-to meals...Shrimp and Grits.  Complete with salad and dessert, the clients loved every minute of their time on Zoom with Justin.  And since no meal in Miami is complete without a couple of cigars, we tossed in two of Justin's favorites in each of the kits for this evening event. 

Check out what some of the participants had to say:

"What fun!! We had a blast, I can honestly say I have never used that many ingredients to make shrimp and grits…lol" – T.W., Roper St. Francis Healthcare

"Please let everyone know it was greatly appreciated." – M.C., Calavan Automotive

"My husband LOVES the cigars – nice touch." – J.D., John Foy Associates
