We all know how fun it is to get dressed up for a party. Looks like the folks at Grand Marnier don’t want to miss out on this action. They’ve got their fancy pants out. In this case, it’s a sheath of luscious red lacquer. They’ve just launched their La Vie de Grand Marnier limited edition bottle for the holidays. In keeping with their French theme, we’re designating their upscale outfit La Pants du Fancy.
The bottle comes in a very fetching box, making it the perfect gift for cocktail lovers. Don’t wait for the actual holidays. You should give this gift early, so it can be put to use during the season’s fancy-schmancy cocktail parties.
We’ve included a cocktail for such a party. With all of these classy touches, no one will realize just how tipsy you actually are.
