Starting the new year with a kick-ass party is pretty much the only way we do it around here, and just last week, we provided the libations (and let's be honest, the fun) for The Elle Awards in Sweden. As the first international awards hosted by the magazine, it brought out 800 of the biggest fashion names in Sweden as well as international guests – including supermodel Caroline Winberg and singer Elin Lanto just to a name a couple.
If you've ever been to the Grand Hotel Stockholm, you know the venue is breathtaking with glitzy chandeliers and gilded walls surrounding you at every turn, which is why we had to ensure the caliber of cocktails were unmatched for the night's event. Thus, guests were treated to four different drinks crafted exclusively for the Elle soiree – and we must say, they turned out pretty darn delicious. Think strawberries, basil and vodka in a jar – but that's just a small taste (for full recipes click here). Check out all the winners from the night below and browse through our favorite pictures from the event in the slide show.
