Absolut Electrik

This past weekend, I flew from a work trip in SF back home to NYC to celebrate a momentous occasion with Absolut: the return of their limited edition electric blue bottle, Absolut Electrik, which means it's *finally* holiday season once again.

With Absolut being known for constantly pushing the boundaries of nightlife, this holiday season, they drew inspiration from the Electrik bottle to infuse social electricity and connectivity into nightlife.

Starting November 4th, Absolut is giving nightlife lovers all across the U.S. (New York, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Las Vegas) the chance to make new connections in their respective cities. If you’re in one of these cities, check out Absolut’s Facebook page for details on your chance to have an unexpected night out, sponsored by Absolut.

You'll have the chance to be paired up with fellow partygoers (and hopefully future friends) for nights of music, dancing, and, of course, Absolut cocktails--all while making efforts to get you home safely.

Here’s how my night went: I rode in my Electrik Lyft Line and made new friends, Talun and Anthony. We played fun icebreaker games on the way to the event; I think the fact that none of us knew each other, nor what to expect, made the excitement for the night so much greater.

Upon entering, we were given a wristband, drink tickets, and a tour of the space. I love events that aren't just about partying and are about an experience as a whole. There were art installations, a photobooth that projected photos onto the wall, an interactive dance floor, and even disco ball-headed men who'd dance with you.

Cash Cash was headlining and threw down an amazing set. I don't think there was a single person in that whole room who wasn't dancing. I rarely see a whole room this into a party.

Just like Absolut intended, I left the party with good memories, new friends, and a safe ride home with Lyft.
