Consumers were also given an exclusive opportunity to party on a golf course as Heineken hosted the Sundown Party, bringing together music, performances and Heineken-infused cocktail to celebrate its collaboration with CIMB Classic.

Working together with world champion mixologist Joshua Ivanovic, known for his illustrious experience in the craft, Joshua created three Heineken infused cocktails that were only made available at the Sundown Party. Guests were treated with Michelada, a unique mix of spiciness and sourness on the palate and Honey Shandy was a sweeter concoction, while Lagerita was a strong, flavourful mix.

DJ Xu, on the other hand, filled the marquee with a mix of upbeat sounds, accentuating the experience designed to spark social conversations. He was accompanied by flow dancers Psycusix, who offered a spectacular performance of graceful choreography and LED rods-centred routine.
