GREY GOOSE unveiled the 2016 GREY GOOSE Film Awards Season Cocktail Collection in celebration of those who defy expectations to achieve the extraordinary in film. Each year, GREY GOOSE has created scene-stealing cocktails to toast the world’s best in film during the February Film Awards Season.
Every aspect of the creation of GREY GOOSE® is focused on crafting vodka of unmatched quality. The creation of GREY GOOSE begins with the very best ingredients from France – soft winter wheat from the Picardie region, le grenier à blé (the breadbasket of France) and spring water from Gensac-La-Pallue, in the Cognac Arrondissement (Region), that is naturally filtered through limestone. A unique distillation process brings out the naturally superior characteristics of these ingredients.
From field-to-bottle, the expertise of the GREY GOOSE Maître de Chai (Cellar Master), François Thibault, ensures an unparalleled smoothness and exceptional taste to the connoisseur palate. The GREY GOOSE portfolio is comprised of GREY GOOSE Vodka, GREY GOOSE La Poire, GREY GOOSE L’Orange, GREY GOOSE Le Citron, GREY GOOSE Cherry Noir, GREY GOOSE Le Melon Flavoured Vodkas, GREY GOOSE VX Spirit Drink and GREY GOOSE Interpreted by Ducasse toasted wheat vodka www.greygoose.com.
Created by master mixologist and GREY GOOSE Ambassador Joe McCanta, the cocktail collection pays homage to five dominating themes present across this year’s most acclaimed movies: ‘Love Conquers All‘, ‘Female Empowerment‘, ‘Escape‘, ‘Revenge‘ and ‘The Big Idea‘ using each expression from the House of GREY GOOSE: GREY GOOSE Original, GREY GOOSE L’Orange, GREY GOOSE Le Citron, GREY GOOSE La Poire and GREY GOOSE VX spirit drink.
The five cocktails – GREY GOOSE L’Amour, GREY GOOSE Femme Confidante, GREY GOOSE Le Rêve and GREY GOOSE Bitter Revenge – will be joined ‘on the red carpet’ by GREY GOOSE’s ultimate celebratory cocktail, the GREY GOOSE Le Fizz, plus the GREY GOOSE VX Martini Exceptionnelle cocktail featuring the masterfully mixed spirit drink GREY GOOSE VX, an exceptional blend of GREY GOOSE vodka finished with a hint of precious cognac.
The GREY GOOSE Film Awards Season Cocktail Collection will be served at high profile GREY GOOSE supported pre-celebrations and post-film awards after-parties in February 2016.
