Smirnoff Black Barbers
Over the last month i’ve been fortunate enough to take on the additional role as the Smirnoff Black (as featured in The Quantum of Solace - seriously, check out the bar in Haiti) Ambassador for the UK. This means I get to drive an Aston Martin… Ok it doesn’t really, but it does mean that I get to do some nice events such as the Smirnoff Black Barbers with Hugo Boss.
The barbers will run in Hugo Boss stores all over London for the next few weeks and it works something like this:
- Book a 30 minute slot and turn up
- Wet shave from a professional barber and general facial pampering
- Cocktail made using Smirnoff Black (Either a Collins or a Double Black Martini)
- Relax and enjoy your smooth shave and even smoother cocktail
I was only participating for the launch night which took place last Thursday, there will be a different bartender making drinks for the next few weeks.
The night went well, with Francisco (the barber) demonstrating to me how ridiculously smooth a shave can actually be. I in turn demonstrated how to make a decent Collins, a task which I only had to repeat once every thirty minutes!
Looking forward there is lots of Smirnoff Black stuff on the horizon, some exciting radio based stuff coming up over Christmas, an advertorial in GQ magazine in the new year and a return to Market Kitchen. In the meantime i’m going to try and get hold of one of these limited edition Quantum of Solace bottles of Smirnoff Black!
