Celebrate the Billboard Latin Music Awards with the event’s official drink, The Breeze of Miami, made with Buchanan’s whisky, the official spirits sponsor. Created by Mixologist, J.D. Marin, the cocktail is distinctively festive for one of music’s biggest nights and perfect for serving to family and friends when hosting an awards viewing party. The Awards will be televised live on Thursday, April 28 on Telemundo at 8:00 p.m. EST throughout the United States and Latin America. The finalists are honored across a variety of Latin musical genres that include Pop, Reggaeton, Bachata and Tropical, among others.

The Billboard Latin Music Awards honor the most popular albums, songs, and performers in Latin music and are the industry’s longest running. The Breeze of Miami cocktail was inspired by the rhythms of Latin music and the city where the awards will take place.

“I wanted to create a drink that felt tropical, but sophisticated. The watermelon gives it a vibrant hue that reflects the colors of Miami, while the combination of coconut water and simple syrup speaks to the richness of Latin music,” stated J.D. Marin.

Let’s raise a glass and toast salud to all of the deserving nominees for their hard work, dedication, and determination!
