Share
Floridaze is throwing its official launch party on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 3 PM to 8 PM at Five Bucks Drinkery in St. Pete, FL. The party doubles as a birthday celebration for founder Oytun Tutuncu, and it's open to everyone 21 and up.
What's Happening
This is Floridaze's first official launch event: five hours on a Saturday at Five Bucks Drinkery in St. Pete. All three Floridaze flavors, Watermelon, Blue Raz, and Coconut, will be on hand alongside Five Bucks Drinkery's regular menu, so there's no need to choose one over the other. Founder Oytun Tutuncu is celebrating his birthday the same day, so the party covers both the brand launch and his birthday, and guests are welcome to help him celebrate both. No ticket is required to walk in, and there's no formal program to sit through. The event runs Saturday, September 26 from 3 PM to 8 PM, so show up whenever works for your schedule, whether that's right at 3 or later in the evening.
