Max’s Pool Party Field Trip

Let's: Escape the city and hop on a big yellow school bus to the Hamptons! We'll pretend Labor Day never happened as we milk every last drip of Vitamin D out of the summer with a few artisan cocktails pool-side at a luxurious East Quogue home.

We’d love to host: Those unwilling to hang up their speedo or bikinis until after the best pool party of the summer.

About your Host:

We believe a fresh new dimension to "going out life" is possible--a way to meet new people through shared, intimate experiences as opposed to the tired and inadequate bar/club/restaurant scene. That's why we set out to develop Chowbunga, an Internet platform with a real world focus, one that enables new friends and old to unite through private and unique social events. Forget the bars and clubs, a new social revolution has begun!

About your Sponsor:

Brugal

Brugal Extra Dry Rum: A cask-aged white rum that lives up to the dry Brugal house style, Brugal Extra Dry begs one to rethink his or her perception not only of white rum, but of rum in general. Brugal’s proprietary double-distillation technique creates a dry and clean spirit with fewer of the heavy alcohols that lend other rums their sweeter profiles. This blend of rums – aged a minimum of two years up to five years in White American Oak casks – is triple charcoal filtered to achieve exquisite clarity and conjures a velvety mouthfeel as a result of an exceptional aging process.

Brugal Extra Dry’s unparalleled smoothness and drinkability makes it a superlative white rum to drink on the rocks, while its one-of-a-kind dry character mixes for better, more balanced cocktails.
