Hey Hamptonites, are you already getting thirsty for a great new summer cocktail?

Well you don’t have to wait to Memorial Day to wet your whistle! On Thursday, March 1st, creators Rande Gerber and Roberto Serrallés were joined by family and friends as they celebrated the launch of CALICHE RUM, a rum six generations in the making and exclusively from the Serrallés Family Distillery – the birthplace of premium Puerto Rican rum.

As the founder of influential nightlife companies Midnight Oil and the Gerber Group, Rande Gerber has been a leading impresario in the nightlife industry for more than 20 years and partnered with Roberto Serrallés, whose family has been producing fine rum for more than 145 years. This unique and innovative partnership resulted in the hottest new drink: CALICHE RUM, the smooth, modern spirit [aged up to four years] has a unique clean balance of vanilla and citrus notes with a hint of oak.

No shortage of VIPs came out to support Rande and his new ultra premium aged white rum. Film stars including: Leonardo DiCaprio, Laura Prepon, David Spade, and Jeremy Piven packed the Lounge to be one of the first to take a sip..

Ladies man and recently rehabbed Gerard Butler joined the festivities around midnight. When the photographer asked Butler if he could grab a quick shot, the Scottish actor cleverly replied, “no no, I’m not drinking, I’m just here to support my friend Rande.”

Leonardo kept a low profile sporting his signature baseball cap with new model girlfriend Erin Heatherton by his side. Sitting in a back corner booth, the actor enjoyed a Cali Ginger cocktail while catching up with creator Rande Gerber and drop-dead-gorgeous wife Cindy Crawford!
