Stoli appoints Calabrese

Premium vodka Stolichnaya is teaming up with cocktail guru Salvatore Calabrese to host 15 international trade cocktail masterclasses, starting in London, and other key cities in the UK, in June. Calabrese will create six signature cocktails – one of which will be Stoli Spicy Fifty, an interpretation of a drink he once served at Fifty in London.

Stoli Spicy Fifty

5cl Stolichnaya vanilla vodka
1.5cl elderflower cordial
1.5cl fresh lime juice
1cl honey syrup
2 thin slices of red chilli

Place all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice, shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a small red eye chilli on edge of the glass.

The year-long contract with Stoli will also see Salvatore Calebrese star in a promotional video to encourage consumers to 'have a go' at mixology
