In addition to the exotic backdrop, each stop on the tour will include an unforgettable performance from a tropical music superstar. “Ever since it hit shelves earlier this year, people craving warmer weather and summer vibes can’t get enough of Vita Coco Spiked with Captain Morgan, serving up summer vibes in a can,” said Anne Nosko, VP, Captain Morgan. “And now that summer is almost here, we’re turning the flavor and heat up to a 10 with unforgettable experiences paired with delicious drinks, bringing a taste of the tropics to everyone no matter where you live.” San Juan Capistrano, California, get ready to tropic-like-it’s-hot with Puerto Rico’s own Myke Towers.

Because what’s a tropical getaway without the people who make these destinations so special? “This summer, enjoy all the flavors of a beach vacation right at home with Vita Coco Spiked with Captain Morgan and see what we’re all about at one of the stops on the Tropical Takeover Tour,” said Jane Prior, CMO of The Vita Coco Company. “Like sipping from a coconut on a tropical island, it will be a summer experience you won’t forget.” Vita Coco Spiked with Captain Morgan Tropical Takeover Tour Stops: Jamaica, Queens, N.Y., featuring Shenseea (Wednesday, June 28) San Juan Capistrano, C.A., featuring Myke Towers (Friday, August 4) Jamaica Plain, Mass., featuring Sean Paul (Thursday, September 14) “When Captain Morgan asked me to help bring the culture of Jamaica to Jamaica Plain, a place that couldn’t be more opposite, I was pumped to deliver a taste of that tropical flavor,” said Sean Paul. “Boston, get ready to turn up the temperature for the hottest celebration this summer and come see me perform to experience the Caribbean for yourself.” Three cities.
