Loews Regency SF pays homage to the Global Games with its commemorative "Taste of Rio" offering for guests and sports enthusiasts to sip on as they cheer for their favorite team. Loews Regency is raising its glass with its very own signature Brazilian Caipirinhas. This artisanal beverage was crafted by expert mixologist David Rowe alongside the hotel's talented Brasserie S&P bar team. This distinct cocktail consists of the fresh flavors of Brazil: cachaça, lime, sugar, and a homemade syrup infused with lemongrass, kaffir lime, and lemongrass — it tastes like a gold medal winner! Snatch one quick because it's only available August 5 through August 21!

"In the spirit of competition and with all eyes on Brazil, Loews Hotels is celebrating the Rio games with a twist on the host country's Caipirinha that reflects the distinctiveness of our destinations," says Mark Weiss, Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage at Loews Hotels. "We're excited to offer guests a chance to toast their favorite teams and competitors."
