Recently, ICE was thrilled to host an exclusive listener cocktail party for fans of NYC radio stations Z100 and Power 105.1. Hosted by Bethany Watson of Z100’s Elvis Duran and The Morning Show and Angela Yee of Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, guests shook up classic Prohibition-era cocktails including the Sazerac, The Bees Knees, Ramos Gin Fizz, Brandy Alexander and more.
