There is an art to savoring the finer things in life, and Lakeland has never offered more of them. Overlooking the heart of the city, Vasco Sixty-One pairs Spanish and Latin flavors with cocktails crafted with patience and an unwavering standard of excellence. Great style is composed the same way: the right pieces, chosen with intention, finished with one unexpected detail. Here, a collection of looks by East of These, downtown Lakeland’s styling destination, carries that same craft from the rooftop to the wardrobe. This is an invitation to slow down, raise a glass and celebrate the finest things made right here at home.

“This a new twist on the Havana Night Cap. Of course we still love the classic and will continue to offer it at Vasco on request. For this new variation, however, I couldn’t resist pulling from our fabric and reaching for a tequila. She’s dark, broody, and just a bit mysterious”
