Last year’s P1 Vodka-sponsored Orlando Martini Fest stirred things up enough to warrant another party, this time in a new place.
On Saturday, March 21, fans of this classic cocktail — and the many variations thereof — will gather for a celebration of all things martini, 6-10 p.m. at the Caribe Royale Orlando.
This year’s party will showcase 20 uniquely themed martinis, classic to colorful and over-the-top creations you’ll want to snap before you sip.
“This isn’t just about drinking martinis — it’s an immersive cocktail celebration with beautiful drinks and people who love great cocktails,” said Shawn Buckmaster, vice president of brand growth & development for P1 Vodka.
“P1 Vodka was built in Orlando, and the festival is our way of giving back to the city that helped build the brand as we prepare for our next chapter with a new downtown distillery and tasting experience.”

Instagram-worthy sips to snap and a festive atmosphere await, with new styles of martinis to explore amid fun photo-booth action, music and more.
Following the main festival, an exclusive after-party at Stadium Club keeps the excitement flowing as guests get to know their city’s newest craft spirit.
