Celebrate the world’s most anticipated sporting event at Michelin-starred Le Jardinier at MFAH. Discover a curated cocktail collection crafted in the spirit of the tournament, available from June 12 through July 19.

 

The cocktail collection salutes the competing nations, each drink a tribute to a distinct culture and its flavors. Savor the Black Forest Highball inspired by Germany, raise an O Navegador in honor of Portugal, or toast the Netherlands with the De Oranje Architect. Each glass is a passport to a different corner of the world.

 

For Guatemalan artist Darío Escobar, soccer and sports more broadly function as a form of “global religion,” in which everyday objects acquire the aura of relics. Composed of balls turned inside out and meticulously resewn, the forms in this work evoke the billowing clouds of Christian Baroque imagery while simultaneously recalling the display strategies of consumer products.
