Match the Mood: The Right Cocktail for Any Musical Genre
From rock to rap, music spans a broad spectrum. When it comes to mixing drinks, the possibilities are endless. That’s why it makes sense to find the perfect drink recipe for every genre.
Nov. 18, 2022
As a proud sponsor of the GRAMMYs®, we’re big fans of both music and mixology. The right sounds and serves can combine to provide the perfect mood. If you have a favourite genre, we have just the drink for you. Take a look at the following GRAMMYs® genre fields and their corresponding cocktails.
Pop: The Queen Bee
For pop, you’ll want to go for something crowd-pleasing and a little bit sweet. The Queen Bee is a bright, citrusy drink that features a touch of honey.
Dance/Electronic: Le Fizz
With high-energy dance music, you’ll want to enjoy sipping something fizzy and bubbly. If the cocktail is sparkly and eye-catching, even better. The Le Fizz fits that bill perfectly.
Rock: Grey Goose on the Rocks
For this genre, we recommend Grey Goose on the rocks. Sure, you could say that’s because it has the word “rock” right in it, and that’s an added bonus. But this very simple serve also works for the hard-punching genre because it’s a spirit-forward, no-fuss drink.
Alternative: Mango Collins
With alternative music, you’ll want to go for things out of the ordinary. For this genre, serve classic drinks with a twist. The Mango Collins uses vodka instead of gin, and the surprising flavour of mango instead of lemon.
R&B: Lemon & Ginger Spritz
Rhythm & Blues, meet lemon & ginger. The Lemon & Ginger Spritz is a celebratory cocktail with an award-worthy flavour combination.
Rap: Backstage
Bursting with citrus flavour, the Backstage is bold and inventive, just like its corresponding genre of rap. This drink will have you feeling like a VIP.
Country: Vodka Lemonade
When it comes to country and western music, nostalgic flavours come to mind. Put on your favourite country song and sit out on the front porch with a tall glass of Vodka Lemonade.
Jazz: Old Fashioned
Smooth. Classic. The perfect matching drink for jazz is our take on an Old Fashioned. Cozy up with your favourite tunes and this spirit-forward drink.
Latin: Vodka Margarita
The perfect pairing for the GRAMMYs® Latin music field is this classic cocktail with a vodka twist: Tommy’s Margarita.
Any Genre: The Passion Drop
If you can’t pick a genre, or want to jump among all of them, there’s one drink that will fit the bill. The Passion Drop is our signature cocktail created specifically for the GRAMMYs®. It’s a remix of the quintessential Martini Cocktail, serving a fresh spin on the iconic serve.
No matter your choice of music or cocktail, you really can’t go wrong.
