The Drink: The Chanteuse Cruz

Rémy Martin recently launched their mentorship program, Circle of Centaurs with actress/singer/photographer, Jackie Cruz from Orange is the New Black. To kick off an online contest in which Cruz will select one young singer to mentor, they threw a party at the Bowery Hotel in New York. The Rémy flowed as Cruz performed with her band, The Family Portrait.

One specialty cocktail was concocted by Cruz herself.

"I love drinking Rémy Martin 1738 neat but when I drink cocktails I like them spicy and sour,” Cruz said. “I worked with Rémy Martin to create the Chanteuse Cruz to celebrate my passion for singing and have a bit of a kick with the ginger syrup and fresh lemon juice"

The Chanteuse Cruz is a refreshing drink for any celebration or just to enjoy at home. Grab some Rémy and make one for yourself tonight.
