Philadelphia magazine's Spirits Premiere

On Thursday, March 31, 2011 more than 700 guests gathered for Philadelphia magazine’s Spirits Premiere Party at the National Constitution Center. They previewed more than 30 of the season’s newest cocktail recipes and spirits, enjoyed hors d’oeuvres from Max & Me Catering, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and Tweed, and posed for photos in the Soiree Photo Lounge, while DJ Schoolly D mixed up the beats. A portion of proceeds benefited Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern Pennsylvania. Photography by Jessica Vermeer Hawkes
