Our magnificent spearhead of style and leadership has committed to providing us with tales of his international exploits and faithful recounts of stylish happenings accross the globe. Here, now, for the first time, we are proud to present : Trendspotting!


Yes, that’s right guys and gals, Vintage is chic! We’ve spotted the trend in hotspots all over the place -- so listen up if you want to stay ahead of the cocktailing curve… And don’t be intimidated – it’s easy to pull off!
Think glitz. Not disco ball glitz – we’re talking turn of the century grand-is-good type thing Let the old times roll … let’s be kings and queens for an eve...bring it on! Imagine a big ol’ castle hidden somewhere in the hills of Bavaria, full of low-hanging mega crystal chandeliers, deep etched crystal all over the place, Mozart the tune of choice...now bump up the vibe to the here-and-now and you are set, my friend. Easy. So – Mozart gets a little re-mix thanks to an in-the-know DJ in SoBe, the deep etched crystal accoutrements make a sneak peak in some hot CocktailVibe Lounge Rocks glasses, those wayyyy hot Ghost goodies, and of course those million dollar Lucern babies (love the chunky gold – sooooo hot, love it)...and scattered around your 
cocktail table are bunches of the super-cool bling bling diamonds I just spotted on CocktailVibe. Glitz is covered. Slip those super chic CocktailVibe Crocc Coasters (gold or silver, take your pic) under your yummy cocktail concoctions. Of course, cocktails are served on some fabulous gold or silver tray. Easy – you have made your splash.
You will be the talk of the town, trust us. Try it out and shoot us a note – and we love pics!
Cheers,

Bamboo – LOVE it. So chic, so runway, and soooooo green it is not even funny. I was at my friend Shane’s pad in Aspen last week...she had a few of her closest stop by for some nibbles before we headed out to Nobu (our pick in town)...and of course, I spotted some chic toys from CocktailVibe!!
We sat outside, and what better way to serve up Boysenberry Spritzers (in Vienna Flutes no less...love that texture and slick shape) than on one of those fab long bamboo trays.OK, I’ll fess up – I surprised Shane with the tray for her birthday last May and she has not stopped thanking me since...). Pick your color...they are all hot. Pull out some bamboo snack bowls, grab a great mix of olives from your local gourmet shop (skip the bottled stuff, please!)...grab something sweet (e.g., candied hazelnuts - yum), something spicy (find some jalapeno stuffed olives), something salty (seaweed snaps, so perfect)...the secret of any good bar snack. 
Find a few fun bowls, mix and match. And
kick up the green thing with one of those SO green Leaf Votives from CocktailVibe. What spells GREEN more than one of those gems? Next, throw in a set of Kamra Cocktail Plates...set of 4 with amaaaaaaazing pics of nature – and you are there. Give each guest a different one and you have pulled it off.
No need for thanks...just pics...please!

Greetings, fellow cocktailers!
As you might have noticed, we've recently revamped our site to make it a little more user-friendly. We've also added a ton of new product, content, specials ... all of which will hopefully bring the amazing world of high end cocktailing into your homes.
That being said, we wanted to share with you some trends we've spotted in the cocktail scene. Various CocktailVibe crew members have visited some great bars around the world recently. We've analyzed the cocktail experience, spotted some themes, and generally observed what is going on. Here are our thoughts...
Until next time,
Love Your Cocktail...

After returning from a whirlwind trip through Paris, London, Milan and Hong Kong … with the sole purpose of TRENDSPOTTING … I’ve put together a short list of themes I’ve noted, styles that look great, color groupings that seem to stick, and overall trends that I think will flow into the US market. I want to share them with you! Here we go.
Granted, high styles from the world’s trend capitals won’t necessarily be no-brainers in all parts of the US, but hopefully this helps you think somewhat outside-of-the box and put together some great cocktail parties for Fall!
Hope to see you this summer in Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York! Until then, keep innovating…
