Belve Music Lounge Party at Coachella

So this past weekend I attended Belvedere Vodka’s Belve Music Lounge party in honor of Coachella weekend!  As I’m sure you know, Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas and so naturally, I was thrilled to receive the invite.  The lounge was held at a private estate about 5 minutes from the Coachella festival and my friends and I hung out by the pool and sipped on some specialty Belvedere Coachella-inspired cocktails– my favorite was the Belve Beat! (check HERE for all of the recipes).

Belvedere vodka at Coachella!

So last year I had my first Coachella experience and loved it but alas, even though Coachella is next weekend (!), I’m still not sure if I’m going or not, haha.  All that aside, I got the inside scoop on the exclusive Belve Music Lounge, hosted at a private estate in Palm Springs.  This way, even if I don’t end up going, I can at least drink like I’m there.

  • 3 oz. lemonade (Simply Lemonade brand)
  • 1 oz. apple juice
  • Garnish with a lemon wedge

A Valentine’s Day cocktail from Belvedere vodka

So you know I’ve blogged about Belvedere time and time again (and not just because it’s the official drink of Chelsea Lately).  It’s honestly one of my top vodkas and I’m really loving this special Valentine’s Day recipe, whipped up by Belvedere’s head of spirit creation and mixology, Claire Smith.  Strawberries and vodka…what’s a better combination?

  • 4 strawberries
  • 1 shiso leaf
  • 1/2 oz. Koshinokaghiroi sake

 

Directions:

  • Muddle strawberries with a dash of simple syrup
  • Add all ingredients and shake with cubed ice
  • Double strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a strawberry sliver and shiso leaf
