Decor
This year we see brass, copper, rose gold and marble outshining all other materials. Not only has Bangkok welcomed the 1950s-inspired furniture of Jonathan Adler with its heavy reliance on brass and copper details, but the city’s new cafes, bars and restaurants have all been falling back on the warm shiny materials, too.
Fashion
A touch of metallic detail makes the most of the summer sunlight. Keep the total look warm and sexy with hot shades like copper, bronze and rose gold matched with earth-tone outfits. Here’s what you need to get the look.
Beauty
Finish your look with metallic eyes and nails or get an all-over sexy shimmer glow this summer. This is the season for skin, not lips, so choose the perfect foundation to prepare your flawless complexion and let the eyes shine brightest with copper shades. Finish with shimmer on the nose and cheekbone.
Cocktails
Even on the cocktail scene, copper and shiny metals have proven themselves the bartender’s favorite accessories. From fancy coupe glasses with metallic rims to sexy copper shakers and other equipment, shiny metal seems like an essential ingredient for the perfect pour—and rightly so, since some of the world’s best spirits like Absolut Elyx are produced in copper stills.
ABOUT ABSOLUT ELYX
Copper Pineapples
Elyx is the super-premium line of the Absolut family. The taste is distinct from your familiar Absolut vodka because it’s made from a single estate wheat plantation in Rabelof, Sweden. This single estate can produce only a limited amount per year, making every bottle special. But the real craft comes during the distillation process. The spirit is made in a copper distillation column—a traditional process that purifies vodka to perfection and rewards its drinker with a silky texture. To highlight the bottle’s premium qualities, Absolut has also created a special copper pineapple glass that symbolizes “wealth, hospitality and wellness.”
Sorrento
Best mix: There are two signature drinks created especially for the Absolut Elyx. The Ocean Drive mixes Absolut Elyx with passion fruit puree or fresh pulp, fresh pineapple juice, lime juice, agave syrup, cayenne pepper and kaffir lime leaves served in a copper pineapple glass. The Pink Squirrel mixes Absolut Elyx with fresh watermelon juice, lime juice and chili syrup served in a copper pineapple glass. But that’s not all. The barmen at these outlets below create their own signature versions of Absolut Elyx, too.
