To celebrate the Rio 2016 Olympics, the Loews Regency New York Hotel is offering guests and locals alike an exclusive Caipirinha-inspired cocktail. Created by expert mixologist Andre Compeyre, the “Regency Caipirinha” cocktail combines fresh flavors of sugar, Brazilian cachaça and lime for sport enthusiasts to enjoy while watching the global games at the hotel from August 5-21.

“In the spirit of competition and with all eyes on Brazil, Loews Hotels is celebrating the Rio games with a twist on the host country’s Caipirinha that reflect the distinctiveness of our destinations,” says Mark Weiss, Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage at Loews Hotels. “We’re excited to offer guests a chance to toast their favorite teams and competitors.”
