A parade of colorfully attired guests descended on designer Brooke Drake’s vibrant new space to socialize, shop and sup throwback cocktails during the designer’s Palm Royale Soirée at Blue Hills in Round Top.
Drake’s signature mix of mid-century and vintage furniture and home decor set against a backdrop of her signature bold, tropical colors was the perfect setting for the event based on the popular Netflix series set in late 1960s Palm Beach.
Pour La Vie beverage bar was on hand mixing up fresh Palm Royale-themed cocktails including the Grasshopper (Crème de Cacao, Crème de Menthe and half-and-half), the Royale Margarita (Socorro Blanco, lime, strawberry and basil) and the Southside (gin, mint and lemon). Charcuterie boards were provided by The Little Cheese Shop in Round Top.
