NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Raise a glass—and funds for wildfire relief! A food hall in Brooklyn is serving up two special drinks to support the Red Cross' efforts to help victims in the Los Angeles area.
The drinks—a margarita and a virgin spritzer—are being sold at Time Out Market New York in Dumbo, with 100% of proceeds aiding people impacted by the devastating fires via the Red Cross.
“Being in the hospitality industry, that’s what we do, we come together,” said Andrew Denno, the market’s general manager.
“It’s been successful so far, and it just started,” he said Thursday.
The Blueberry Margarita is made with Tromba Tequila and Italicus.
The Cucumber Jalapeño Spritz is a mocktail created for “Dry January” and features Hagave Spiced Nectar.
“Anytime they purchase that—all those proceeds will go to the Red Cross,” Denno said.
Tromba Tequila, Italicus and Hagave will also donate $1 for each drink sold, amplifying the initiative’s impact.
The special drink promotion runs through Sunday, Jan. 19.
The ongoing wildfires have killed at least 10 people and burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures in and around Los Angeles since Tuesday. As of Friday, nearly 200,000 people were under evacuation orders and a similar number were without power.
