When it comes to sparkling wines and champagne, only a select few come to mind but last night it was all about Absolut Tune, a dynamic fusion of sparkling white wine and premium vodka . The launch of the brand’s all new sparkling wine was held at Le Bain on the top of The Standard Hotel in NYC. An amazing event with the most fashionable DJ Solange Knowles and DJ Charlotte Ronson kept the crowd dancing all night long as they sipped on cocktails mixed with elderflower, peach, pear and other tasty mixers making for the best drinks ever. To make things even better, Rita Ora rocked the crowd in an amazing Emilio Pucci blazer, Vivienne Westwood skinny pants and Manolo Blanik heels. When it was all said and done, guests exited the building with balloons that decorated the room as they sang the song playing all the way out into the cobble streets of the Meatpacking District. An unforgettable night indeed!
