James Diggs, Acqualina\u2019s Food and Beverage Manager, is known for making some of the best drinks in town. As a seasoned sommelier and mixologist, he left his mark on this city’s trendiest cocktail menus and wine lists before joining the resort and taking the reigns as our wine and spirits specialist.<\/p>\n

With such a vast wealth of knowledge, we couldn\u2019t let James keep this information to himself. Hosting Acqualina\u2019s first ever Cocktail Class, James gave a group of six ladies the liquid confidence to master his resort-life inspired creation, Everything Happens for a\u00a0Riesling.<\/em>\u00a0You may have guessed from the name, this cocktail is wine-based, because who doesn’t love a glass of wine when lounging poolside?<\/p>\n

We are excited to share his latest recipe with you, so you can get behind the bar at home and create this Miami style cocktail, wherever you may be.<\/p>\n
