NIGHTLIGHT: DOUBLE CROSS VODKA CREATES LIMITED EDITION BOTTLE FOR DEBUT OF PARK AVENUE WINTER Double Cross Hosts Party on December 14th to Celebrate Innovative Partnership

To celebrate the arrival of Park Avenue Winter at 100 East 63rd Street in Manhattan, Double Cross Vodka has created a limited edition bottle, designed specifically for Park Avenue Winter.  It is just gorgeous - Peachy Deegan and part of the fabulous Whom You Know Champagne Wishes panel attended to check it out for ourselves.  The bottle’s design complements the restaurant’s icy white winter décor with silver snowflakes and has the restaurant’s name emblazoned on the front.  Very sharp!   We look forward to bringing you more on Double Cross Vodka in our comprehensive panel review.  In addition to converting the décor to reflect the new season, a robust winter-inspired menu is created along with an innovative beverage program to toast the season in style.   As you remember, Peachy Deegan featured Double Cross Vodka in Champagne Wishes and liked it so much, we featured its CEO and Co-Founder Malcolm M. Lloyd, MD as a Mover and Shaker!

For the first time, the restaurant will have a Tableside Ice Bar featuring a bottle of the award-winning Double Cross Vodka served with winter mixers created by the restaurant’s award-winning Executive Pastry Chef, Richard Leach. The mixers include Citrus-Lemongrass, Bartlett Pear and Lychee Elderflower, and the cocktails will be served in Double Cross “rock ware,” stem less martini glasses held in elegant black granite bases.   Peachy tried the Bartlett Pear and the Lychee Elderflower tonight-both were quite good!!!

To celebrate this new partnership as well as the venue’s seasonal transition, Double Cross hosted an intimate party for press and top customers at Park Avenue Winter on Monday, December 14th. Guests enjoyed Double Cross winter cocktails and experienced the new décor and ambience of Park Avenue Winter. 



Among the lovely guests Peachy Deegan enjoyed meeting and seeing were:
Bevin Gove
Malcolm M. Lloyd, MD
Devin Wilson
John Magzalcioglu (we have featured his jewelry before-check out this bracelet!)
John LeBlanc
Alexander Duka
Albert Somoza

According to Double Cross CEO, Malcolm M. Lloyd, MD, “We are thrilled to have established this unique partnership with Park Avenue Winter. We set out to create an exceptional, limited edition bottle design to complement the festive winter experience consumers will have when they dine at the restaurant.”
