Lilly Pulitzer Summer Thursday event sponsored by Flor de Caña Rum came off with a huge success in party by centering around Brian Miller’s popular cocktail, The Seersucker. Lilly Pulitzer dressed the store’s mannequins in seersucker blazers and outfitted Brian in festive seersucker tie to complement his specialty drink. Guests of Flor de Caña Rum and Lilly Pulitzer shopped and sipped for a cause while a portion of sales benefitted the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. This event took place July 16 at the Lilly Pulitzer flagship store at 1020 Madison Avenue.

2 ounces Flor de Caña Rum
1/2 ounce cinnamon bark syrup
1 ounce lemon juice
