On Wednesday, June 23, 2014, Crystal Head Vodka hosted an intimate interactive brand experience at Cherry in New York City. The event featured signature cocktails from Mixologist, Warren Hode, paired with small bites such as sushi, lobster tacos, and dumplings.

While at the event, guests had the opportunity to get a cocktail crafted just for them. After a couple questions and a couple minutes, Warren whipped up a spiffy specialty cocktail. The vodka was very smooth and blended well with all sorts of juices and spirits, such as sake. The taste was light on the nose with hints of vanilla gently making its way around. A slight kick when it first hits the palate, but it mellows quickly into a smooth offering. There is a slight peppery kick at the end. The presentation of the event was excellent! Plus, who doesn’t love a skull shaped bottle?
