Belvedere Vodka & Paco Rabanne Cocktail Tasting

If you remember the last time Belvedere Vodka was mentioned on this blog, you will remember the Jimmy Choo Event that we attended. This time, the fragrance that will inspire a host of Belvedere cocktails, would be Invictus, by Paco Rabanne.

Incidentally, if you are a fan of Belvedere Vodka, this promotion will run from September to October 2013. Customized Belvedere cocktails will be priced from RM26 – RM45 for full sized cocktails. Or you can opt for four shots of cocktails in each flight, just like the ones you will see above. Each flight ordered at RM78 nett will receive a Paco Rabanne Invictus fragrance miniature bottle as well, so that’s a great way to win a cool fragrance, if you are a fan of Paco Rabanne. By the way, the shot should actually a full shot glass – mine looks a lot less because I already drank mine.. was too delicious to resist!

And for this Belvedere Vodka & Paco Rabanne Cocktail Tasting event, we only managed to make it for the last two bars, in a series of bar crawl locations, so, here is our account of the cocktails we tried at Frangipani & Marini’s.
