We recently hosted a Mocktails and Chill event for associates where we gathered to learn how to make a few fun mocktails and enjoy charcuterie and sandwiches.
Advocate Capital and a group of associates from Pinnacle Financial Partners have joined forces to create a dynamic Culture Club chapter. This partnership aims to promote a thriving workplace culture, celebrate diversity, and prioritize employee wellness through a series of engaging initiatives. Our Culture Club hosts events like Mocktails and Chill for associates to develop personal connections with their coworkers and enjoy a snack and drink break together.
Maria Escamilla, Director of Client Management Services, taught us how to make a Passion Fruit No-Jito and a Pina Colada, and explained some of the bar tools and drink mixing tips and tricks.
Check out our recipes:
