The Blur ‘Coffee and TV’
With the BRIT Awards just around the corner, Russian Standard Vodka has created a selection of cocktails to honour a handpicked bunch of the star-studded nominees.
The namesake of the icy ‘Arctic Monkey’ cocktail is the indie foursome up for British Group, while the emerald ‘Professor Green’ is called after the English rapper and British Male Solo Artist nominee.
This year the Outstanding Contribution to Music accolade has gone to Blur and in celebration the ‘Coffee and TV’ cocktail owes its name to one of their best loved songs.
