Shivan & Narresh #Cointreaukini

Shivan-Narresh-Cointreaukini-Cocktail-Launch-PCO-Naina.co-Luxury-Storyteller-Raconteuse

There’s a new exclusive Cointreau cocktail in town and it’s called the Cointreaukini and I love it. Usually I hate cocktails because most bars serve more sugar and alcohol than something with any identifiable sense of character. And honestly that’s what I was expecting from this cocktail too – cynical I know – but so happy to be proved wrong! All credit to the boys Shivan & Narresh @shivan_narresh and Alfred Cointreau ( 6th generation no less! ) for a smashing evening.

Here we are, as we head out to PCO, Vasant Vihar for the launch of the cocktail. Akanksha Redhu on the left and a self-portrait of your truly on the right.

Shivan-Narresh-Cointreaukini-Cocktail-Launch-PCO-Naina.co-Luxury-Storyteller-Raconteuse

And look who we run into as soon as we hit the joint! None other than Prerna from L’Officiel (@pennylooney).

Shivan-Narresh-Cointreaukini-Cocktail-Launch-PCO-Naina.co-Luxury-Storyteller-Raconteuse

After the disastrous “punch”, which was sugary, we settled on the Cointreau Swizzle before we could get onto the Countreaukini. PCO has an intimate and cosy vibe – and there’s almost no mobile connectivity in the basement – excellent for an evening of conversation.

And Alfred Cointreau gets started on the exclusive signature cocktail he created for Shivan and Narresh! Yes! Egg whites! Protein in my alcohol – I love it.

Shivan-Narresh-Cointreaukini-Cocktail-Launch-PCO-Naina.co-Luxury-Storyteller-Raconteuse

Is the crowd making too much noise Alfred? Looks like yes! A little bit of shaking.

Adding Cointreau and sieve the berry seeds.

A little more of the shaking.

And there we have it! Cointreau and the bikini and we have the Cointreaukini!

Shivan-Narresh-Cointreaukini-Cocktail-Launch-PCO-Naina.co-Luxury-Storyteller-Raconteuse

The bikini didn’t appear by magic of course – there was a stencil – clever detail.
