Absolut has brought its cool copper-crafted luxury vodka to soar over Manchester in the Hilton’s Cloud 23 bar.

In the pop-up Absolut Elyx Copper Cabin, cocktail lovers can try one of a number of artisanal cocktails, served up in flamboyant copper chalices. These goblets include copper globes, pineapples and even a swan, to make a spectacle of the uniquely light, nutty and fragrant vodka.

Priced from £10, these cocktails are served with a Swedish menu, including pickled herring and beetroot salmon, or a smorgasbord with cheeses, fruit and pastries.

The drinks also feature in a brand new Swedish-themed afternoon tea, and can be sampled in a clever Elyx Experience. The Elyx Experience is a blind-folded and headphoned journey through touch, smell and taste, where you sample various stages of a ‘deconstructed’ cocktail – culminating in a refreshing drink at the end.

Gorgeous copper goblets of delight, with Shakedown’s ‘At Night’. This takes me back to my first night clubbing in Leeds. Marvellous. Anyway, on the left: Winter Sour by Carmen Ghiciu; on the right: Royal Garden. All made with Absolut Elyx. #absolut #absolutvodka #copper #cocktails #cocktailsinthecity #manchesterdrinks
