At an event sponsored by Patrón tequila, SocialMiami.com honored three of the Miami’s most innovative leaders. Held at Bodega Taqueria and Tequila’s private space on Miami Beach — a spacious room filled with red velvet sofas, brick walls, rich woods and wrought iron finishes — SocialMiami editor-in-chief Brett Graff recognized each of the selected leaders for developing technologies and programs to advance their respective fields. The 2022 honorees are:

Senator Patrick Murphy, Togal.al founder
Dominique Broadway, Finance Demystified founder
Eryka Gemma, cryptocurrency expert and venture fund founder

 Each honoree was flanked by ten friends, so a smart and stylish crowd filled the room. Guests were sipping specialty tequila drinks such as: Margaritas mixed with Patrón Silver, orange liquor, agave and lime; Passion Palmoas with Patrón Reposado, chinola passionfruit, liqueur, Aperol, grapefruit, lime and soda; and Hibiscos made with Patrón Reposado, combier, hibiscus, cordial and lime.

Bodega, meanwhile, served up hearty trays of its homemade Mexican fare. Tech leaders and their guests dined on Carne Asada tacos with grilled ribeye steak, red onion, cilantro and avocado salsa and dug into Camarón al Coco tacos with coconut shrimp, mango pico, potato sticks, cilantro, salsa rosado. They also enjoyed Yuca Frita with salsa rosado and Quesadillas with pollo asado, roasted red pepper, Monterey Jack cheese, and red chili crema.  The finale brought Churros with cinnamon sugar and Nutella.
