Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, spirits trailblazer and lifestyle trendsetter Sammy Hagar will be honored with a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, April 30 in recognition of his five decades as a one of the most dynamic and successful rock artists of all time. In recognition of Hagar’s illustrious accolade, two of his premier restaurants, Cabo Wabo Cantina in Las Vegas and Cabo Wabo Beach Club in Huntington Beach, CA, will offer exclusive cocktails featuring his award-winning Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum and top-shelf Santo Spirits.
Located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Cabo Wabo Cantina will serve up the tiki vibes and rockin’ good times synonymous with the surname Hagar through two exclusive cocktails The Rock Star, a red tinged citrus delight made with Sammy’s Beach Bar Platinum Rum, orange curaçao, pineapple juice, grenadine and sweet & sour mix; and El Lucero, a cocktail that harnesses the power of Santo Mezquila, a collaboration with ceremony emcee Guy Fieri, combining it with freshly crushed jalapeños, orange and pineapple juices, chipotle pepper and agave for an on-the-rocks love affair with the Bajian peninsula.
Reflecting the lyrics to his #1 hit, Hagar is “standin’ on top of the world” with yet another career highpoint which will be celebrated at Cabo Wabo Beach Club, located beachside at The Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach, with a namesake cocktail, Top of the World. Equally chill and laid back but with a hard rockin’ kick, the cocktail is crafted with Sammy’s Beach Bar Platinum Rum, lime juice, pineapple syrup, mint leaves and club soda. This Red Rocker classic is available on the Beach Club’s regular drink menu as the Maui-jito.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will honor Hagar with the 2,779th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, April 30, at 11:30 a.m. PT at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, adjacent to the iconic Amoeba Music. The ceremony will be emceed by Guy Fieri, Hagar’s partner in Santo Spirits, and feature guest speaker Grammy Award winner John Mayer, a longtime Hagar friend.
The Kimpton Everly Hotel, located just blocks from the star ceremony at 1800 Argyle Ave., will host a post ceremony Happy Hour for Hagar fans in the hotel’s bar and reception area from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., with special offers on cocktails featuring Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, Hagar’s premium sparkling rum canned cocktails Sammy’s Beach Bar Cocktailsand shareable bites.
