Absolut Hibiskus Rocking it out at Poppy Garden

During the merdeka weekend, there was an endless slew of parties, and this is one of them that took my breath away :) This time round in conjunction with Malaysia’s Independence Day and Malaysia Day, ABSOLUT HIBISKUS, the first-ever floral-flavoured vodka is introduced by Pernod Ricard Malaysia. Malaysians can look forward to artist collaborations and parties nationwide to sample this latest addition to the ABSOLUT flavours family.


There were a few ABSOLUT parties those few weeks, and I attended the one they had at Poppy Garden KL, the very first party in celebration of ABSOLUT HIBISKUS



We got there a little early, so there was enough time to camwhore and take some pics of the surrounding area, where they have done up the place in keeping with the ABSOLUT HIBISKUS theme.


See the clear mixing set on the counter? If you purchase one bottle of ABSOLUT HIBISKUS that night, you will get to take home the entire mixset, specially made just for the event!


My OOTN, I decided to dress up a little more that night cos I was heading out to another party after this one, we were going to Zouk to celebrate my ladyboss' birthday :)


In support of Malaysian talents for creativity and innovation, Pernod Ricard Malaysia collaborated with artists from http://www.3editions.com/


When the doors finally opened, we were greeted with the beautiful ABSOLUT bottle, specially designed by Abs Lee, a self-taught monster illustrator who explores creating wacky illustrations. He was a Lim Kok Wing graduate, who created this masterpiece, which she artfully titled "RAGE: Black and Red"


There was also an airbrush tattoo booth where I decided to get an airbrush of a hibiscus, totally feminine and striking at the same time :)


As we were still early, there was a lot of time to ourselves as guests arrived and settled in for the night.

“The introduction of ABSOLUT HIBISKUS locally couldn’t have been timelier as Malaysians worldwide are commemorating National Independence Day and Malaysia Day just weeks apart. We hope that everyone eligible will be proud owners of the iconic ABSOLUT HIBISKUS, which pays homage to Malaysia’s national flower – celebrating the distinctive mix of Malaysia”, said Terence Ong, Managing Director, Pernod Ricard Malaysia.


ABSOLUT HIBISKUS is incredibly easy to mix - perfect for creating complex cocktails and still sensational by adding just one ingredient. ABSOLUT passionately leads the creation of exceptional cocktails, bringing the cocktail culture in a new unexpected direction. The slightly acidic, berry-flavour hibiscus is underlined by the sweet notes of pomegranate – made from all natural ingredients.


It's so smooth with the underlying berry flavours, it's also perfectly fine to just drink it on its own!


Our night was made more enjoyable with the DJ spinning the decks with popular songs that were esy to dance to and chill with :)
