Which cocktail are you according to your suit?

There are evenings when you order a cocktail the way you adjust your clutch: for boldness, character, or simply to affirm who you are at that moment.

At Blandin & Delloye, we’re convinced that elegance doesn’t stop at the lining of a jacket. It’s a global art of living that can be found in the way a pair of trousers falls as well as in the freshness of a cocktail. Basically, making a made-to-measure suit and creating a signature cocktail share the same quest: the absolute precision of the dosage.

So we’ve combined our two worlds to answer this crucial question: which cocktail are you according to the suit you’re wearing?

1. Business style × London Mule

The Suit: A navy blue suit with tennis stripes, a double-breasted cut and sharp lapels. It’s the uniform of the man who calls the shots without ever having to raise his voice.

The London Mule. Like this suit, it’s a mainstay. The rigour of the Gin provides structure, while the character of the Ginger Beer offers the response needed for long days.

2. Dandy style × Espresso Martini

The Suit: A textured Prince of Wales, often worn with a contrasting clutch and loafers. It’s the choice of the man who masters the codes to have more fun with them at an art opening or a night on the town.

The Cocktail: You need a cocktail that reflects your image: electric.Espresso Martini is sophisticated, intense and resolutely visual. Its creamy foam and dark colour perfectly complement the boldness of a well-chosen tile.

3. Riviera style × St-Germain Spritz

The Suit: The softness of linen, sunny shades and a beautiful cut. It’s the elegance of the epicurean who favours comfort without sacrificing style, from a late lunch to an Italian holiday.

The Cocktail: What could be better than a St-Germain Spritz? The floral notes of elderberry and the lightness of the bubbles capture the very essence of “Dolce Vita”. It’s a cocktail that exudes sunshine and freedom.

4. Vintage style× Old Fashioned

The Suit: The famous 3-piece with matching waistcoat, cut from heavy tweed or earth-toned flannel. An authentic, almost intellectual style, reminiscent of autumn strolls and private clubs with the scent of old books.

The Cocktail: The Old Fashioned. This is the cocktail of patience. You take the time to prepare it, just as you take the time to choose your wool. It’s powerful, complex and timeless. A tribute to terroir and savoir-faire.

5. Smoking style × Dry Martini

The Suit: The dinner jacket in midnight blue velvet, black silk lapel and bow tie. This is the outfit of the magnetic man, the one who owns the night and whose presence is felt as soon as he enters a room.

The Cocktail: The Dry Martini. Pure, sharp and served chilled. It’s the uncompromising cocktail, minimalist in appearance but absolutely precise in execution. The ultimate accessory for your most memorable nights.
