GREY GOOSE® Vodka Named 'The Official Spirit Partner Of The 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards®' In New Multi-Year Partnership With The Recording Academy

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Just ahead of tomorrow's highly-anticipated GRAMMY Awards^® nominations, GREY GOOSE and the Recording Academy^® are proud to announce a new multi-year partnership, naming the vodka as the "Official Spirit Partner of the 64^th Annual GRAMMY Awards." Known around the world for its quality ingredients and distinctive taste, GREY GOOSE is proud to join the Recording Academy in honoring all those who have lent their unmatched talent to the year's best music. To kick off the inaugural year of this partnership, the brand will be celebrating the unique style and expression of each of this year's nominees—both on and off the red carpet—starting with a new signature cocktail that reimagines the flavorful 'tini cocktails of the aughts.

"When we first met with the Recording Academy, we knew right away that our shared values to highlight extraordinary voices and create impactful experiences would make a perfect partnership," said Aleco Azqueta, Vice President of Marketing for GREY GOOSE vodka. "The GRAMMYs^® celebrates best-in-class music, of course, but they're also a showcase for an artist's individual style—not only on the red carpet, but also through their work and performances. GREY GOOSE, similarly brings its own personal flair to every cocktail and experience it creates. We're excited to stand alongside the Recording Academy and commemorate the unique style that went into the music that moved us this year, and are extending an early congratulations to all of tomorrow's nominees."

"We are so excited to begin our partnership with GREY GOOSE as we head into GRAMMY^® season," said Adam Roth, SVP, Partnerships & Business Development of the Recording Academy. "Our two brands center on the celebration of excellence and artistic expression, sharing a mission to recognize and elevate creative voices. We look forward to celebrating our music community in January and creating memorable moments with GREY GOOSE on Music's Biggest Night^®."

To launch the celebration, GREY GOOSE has created an all-new signature cocktail for the GRAMMYs: "THE GREY GOOSE PASSION DROP". The festive libation is composed of GREY GOOSE vodka, ginger syrup, fresh passionfruit puree, and garnished with a lemon twist to honor all the winners going home with gold on GRAMMY night.

"There's no cocktail more stylish and celebratory than the martini, especially when you add in some truly refreshing new ingredients," continued Azqueta. "These cocktails are so personal and timeless because there's no 'right' way to craft them. Like a sample of a classic beat, our signature Passion Drop is a remix on the jubilant and flavorful 'tini cocktails of yesteryear.  We've added a few unexpected ingredients, such as passionfruit, which speaks to the passionate style we've experienced from this year's best music, while also letting the natural, quality ingredients in GREY GOOSE shine through."

The Grey Goose Passion Drop will have a featured presence throughout several key GRAMMY Week^® events, including the Nominees Reception, Clive Davis' and the Recording Academy's Pre-GRAMMY Gala and the GRAMMY Celebration^®. For those not in attendance, it will also be served at select bars and restaurants nationwide and can be recreated at home via the recipe below.

With the GRAMMYs ceremony shifting from its typical Sunday night airtime to a Monday timeslot, GREY GOOSE and the Recording Academy will be using this new day of the week to roll out a slew of in-person and virtual activations leading up to Music's Biggest Night. This mix of digital content, live events, and notable collaborations will highlight the incredible artistry that has shaped the industry this past year, featuring some award-winning talent that span music, fashion, and beyond.
