Zoe Saldaña captivates audiences with her powerful performances. From poignant storytelling to superhero adventures, her range has people stopping to appreciate her talent. This summer, Saldaña wants people to stop and immerse themselves in pleasurable experiences. Toast to time well spent with Le Zoé Spritz.
Spritz cocktails continue to be a popular summer beverage. Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, and other variations fill social media feeds as people raise a glass to the good life. The light, effervescent libations feel festive, pair well with food, and are easy to drink.
This summer, Grey Goose is collaborating with Oscar-winning actor Zoe Saldaña in its campaign, “Grey Goose Hôtel.” Through a series of creative short films, the pair will celebrate good times. It is time to close the laptop, silence the phone, and savor life’s pleasures.
As Saldaña commented, “The opportunity to work with Grey Goose again after almost two decades has been such an amazing full circle moment, and I feel especially aligned with this campaign’s message of living in the present. Working on Grey Goose Hôtel has been a great reminder to stop fretting about being productive and start saying ‘yes’ to more moments that inspire joie de vivre.”
The idea to stop and to enjoy the moment is a concept that can be overlooked. In a world where speed, full schedules, and over-worrying about keeping up with everyone else creates intense pressure, people long for permission to stop.
As seen in the new campaign, the focus is to “Make Time Wait.” Although no one can snap their fingers to stop time or rewrite history, people can choose to quiet the noise. Those few moments where people are present, in the moment, and engaged are vital to their overall well-being.
Enjoying a vibrant, zesty cocktail can entice people to stop and toast to the joy that makes their lives fuller. From a simple celebration of a small win to raising a glass to a love affair for the ages, this spritz cocktail will open doors to a new path to enjoying life’s pleasures.
Here’s how to make the Le Zoé Spritz:
- 1.5 oz Grey Goose Vodka
- 1.5 oz Rosé Wine from Provence
- 1.5 oz Perrier Sparkling Water
- 3 oz Strawberry Juice
- .5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- Sliced Strawberries
- Blueberries
- 1 Sprig of Thyme
Method:
In a wine glass, add Grey Goose, rosé wine, Perrier, strawberry juice, and fresh lemon juice over cubed ice and stir gently. Garnish with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and a sprig of fresh thyme.
Although strawberry juice might not be quite as common as cranberry or grape juice, it can be found at most grocery stores. It is important to use strawberry juice because that fruit plays best with the wine and adds just the right amount of sweetness.
Also, fresh lemon juice is equally as important. A pre-made variety can be too acidic and lead to an imbalanced cocktail. It is better to take the time to juice some lemons for each cocktail.
This summer, the goal is not to fill every moment of the day with an activity. Instead, say yes to taking a moment, savoring the stillness, and toasting to Le Zoé Spritz and life’s pleasures.
