No Buzz, Just Buzzworthy: Hemingway’s Mocktail Classic Comes to Key West 

The Hemingway Home & Museum is hosting its Inaugural Mocktail Classic, benefiting Anchors Aweigh Club, Inc.

For years, the iconic grounds at 907 Whitehead Street have been the backdrop for some unforgettable events—celebrations with a drink in hand. But here’s the twist: this event is about raising a glass that won’t leave you feeling foggy the next day. It’s the rise of mocktails! Those delicious drinks that deliver all the flavor without the buzz.

Remember Hemingway’s quote, “I only drank to make others more interesting”? Well, here’s the deal. We’re making NOT drinking just as interesting. Great experiences don’t always need alcohol. And the best part? All the proceeds from the event go to supporting the incredible work of Anchors Aweigh.

Save the date: Thursday, March 6th, 2025, from 6 pm to 10 pm. The doors of the Hemingway Home & Museum at 907 Whitehead Street will swing open for an unforgettable evening. Vendors, performers, and the top mocktail creators will gather to mix, mingle, and compete for the coveted title of Master Mocktail Mixologist.

Tickets: $75 in advance ($100 at the door)
