Featuring Bacardi and Bombay Sapphire Spirits
This season marks the fourth installment of "MBFWT Designers' Cocktail Runway vol.4." Four designers participating in MBFWT 2015 Spring/Summer Collection have crafted official original cocktails, inspired by their brands and made using "Bacardi" and "Bombay Sapphire."
"A DEGREE FAHRENHEIT" presents "37.89°F (Fahrenheit)," a mystical cocktail where olive oil floats on blue-tinted Bombay Sapphire, evoking "Mercury." "alice auaa" offers "silent," an original cocktail expressing the sensuality of silent films with black olives and black pepper on the rim of the glass. "SOMARTA" created "AMARTA," a beautiful cocktail with a gradient spreading from the cherry at the bottom of the glass.

"PAPILLON"
"AMARTA"
And "HANAE MORI designed by Yu Amatsu" conceived "PAPILLON," a fantastical cocktail with Bacardi as its base. It expresses the brand concept of "elegance, splendor, and dignity," designed with a butterfly-like image.
Additionally, MBFWT introduces an original cocktail recipe: Bacardi infused with cinnamon, mixed with cola.
These official original cocktails are available at cafes and restaurants within Shibuya Hikarie, as well as at the restaurant/bar UPSTAIRS at Mercedes-Benz Connection.
