Match the Mood: The Right Cocktail for Any Musical Genre

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.
