SKYY Vodka One-On-One Cocktail Sampling Event!
NKPR and SKYY Vodka recently hosted a one-on-one cocktail sampling event for the media in celebration of the upcoming release of Alliance Film’s “he’s just not that into you,” on February 6th, 2009. SKYY unveiled two new cocktails inspired by the movie — one sweet, one sour — both appropriately named “he’s into you,” and “he’s just not that into you,” to mirror the ins and outs, ups and downs and goods and bads of finding true love.
Guests enjoyed the mixing talents of SKYY bartender, Matt Jones, chose their favorite sips, and were treated to a tarot card reading to find out what their romantic future has in store…
SKYY Vodka is produced with a unique four-column distillation and triple-filtration process, as well as a reverse-osmosis process to create a smooth, clean taste. SKYY strongly supports film and was previously the official spirits sponsor and promotional partner for the movie, Sex and the City in Canada.
