Members of the United States Bartenders’ Guild of Rhode Island (USBG RI) visited the two Connecticut venues hosting the Christmas-themed Miracle pop-up bar via a bus tour on December 10. Sponsored by Campari, the tour bus departed from Twin River Casino Hotel in Lincoln, first stopping at Waterbury, Connecticut’s Highland Brass Co. before embarking on its final stop of the evening, New Haven’s Ordinary. USBG RI members mingled with members from USBG Hartford and New Haven chapters and enjoyed holiday-themed craft cocktails from the Miracle menu at each venue.
