VSA, the social care charity supporting the people of Aberdeen and North-east Scotland, today (Friday, October 6, 2023) announces the creation of its own bespoke cocktail, courtesy of Resident X mixologists.
‘The Social Butterfly’ has been created as part of the Resident X cocktail menu, designed especially for Aberdeen Cocktail Week 2023 (October 18-24).
‘The Social Butterfly’ offers flavours of vodka, lemon, crème de peach, and elderflower and is also beautifully decorated with dehydrated butterfly pea flowers and a deep violet-purple colour, representing the charity’s brand colour.
This Instagram-worthy colour-changing cocktail not only looks great but proceeds from each cocktail will go towards raising vital funds to continue to help support the many care services offered by VSA.
Kyle Ewen, Manager of Resident X says: “It has been a pleasure to create this charity cocktail for VSA which not only looks and tastes great but makes a genuine difference. We were blown away by the breadth and depth of services which VSA offer to the people of Aberdeen. We hope that the cocktail proves popular during Aberdeen Cocktail Week and that people get behind it to raise vital funds for the charity.”
The Social Butterfly, VSA Charity Special
Holly Leiper, Head of Communications and Fundraising at VSA said: “We are very grateful to Kyle and the Resident X team for creating this bespoke charity cocktail to help support VSA. We are always looking at new and inventive ways to fundraise but that are also easy for people to be part of. You can literally sit back, relax, drink in hand in the city’s Resident X and still be supporting a local charity.”
Gregor Sey, Organiser of Aberdeen Cocktail Week, explained: “Aberdeen is home to so many great bars, restaurants and drink brands. Aberdeen Cocktail Week aims to celebrate what the city has to offer by introducing people to new and exciting venues they may otherwise not visit and making Aberdeen known as a destination for superb hospitality.”
