Toro Toro at the InterContinental Miami is turning up the flavor for a good cause. \u201cViva Abejas\u201d is back \u2013 and it\u2019s bringing the buzz. This experience mixes food, fun and impact!<\/p>\n
This spring, Toro Toro at the InterContinental Miami is buzzing. This pan-Latin hotspot is serving up a sweet twist on sustainability.<\/p>\n
Arminio Rivero: \u201cEvery year, we get the opportunity to celebrate bees! It\u2019s our culinary campaign celebrating bees and the important role that they play into the global food system. It is our fifth year already.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chef Richard Sandoval is highlighting the power of bees with his global campaign, \u201cViva Abejas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arminio Rivero: \u201cOne-third of the food that we eat is pollinated by bees, it\u2019s like a storytelling that we tell the people that come. When they come here, they enjoy the meal. We pair and we combine with beautiful drinks.\u201d<\/p>\n
From honey-drizzled dishes to handcrafted cocktails, every bite and sip is rooted in nature.<\/p>\n
Arminio Rivero: \u201cWe\u2019re featuring actually several drinks. The \u2018Viva Abeja Paloma,\u2019 which is the one that adds smokey twists with chipotle-infused tequila balanced by honey and citrus. The second one is the \u2018Margarita Melipona,\u2019 uses fruit-infused honey and turmeric for a vibrant, elevated take on a classic. The next one is the \u2018Honeybee Fizz,\u2019 which is a zero-proof option with ginger, lavender and a foam finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arminio Rivero: \u201cOur dish is our beef tenderloin, which is actually beef tenderloin truffle honey, which is also another opportunity that we see just to show the people that honey is not only used in desserts.\u201d<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not just tasty. Some of that money raised goes to help protect pollinators, like bees and butterflies, which we need both of.<\/p>\n
Arminio Rivero: \u201cIt\u2019s a cultural culinary experience, and people are going to take away, not only with remembering the flavors, but also knowing that they have at the InterContinental Miami a wonderful place to come eat, dine, have fun and learn about the beautiful things that we have in life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The celebration for bees at Toro Toro runs all month with a special \u201cBloom to Table\u201d dinner on April 24.<\/p>\n
