The Huffer HQ on Upper Queen Street was the venue for a party featuring The Circling Sun band on Wednesday 15 June to celebrate the launch of ABSOLUT NZ, a limited edition pack designed by Huffer.

For the past three decades ABSOLUT’s colabs have included some of the world’s top design and fashion icons.

Other illustrious greats have included Andy Warhol, Tom Ford and Stella McCartney working with the vodka brand to create unique and innovative campaigns.

We really enjoyed The Circling Sun band, regulars at Ponsonby Social Club.

The ABSOLUT NZ bottles line the bar as the bartender mixes drinks.

The bottle, in stylish black with a cool rubbery texture. features a silver map of New Zealand made from Huffer’s three-dots logo, which was echoed on their signature cocktail served to guests which was even garnished with three white chocolate buttons. The Huffer cocktail had ABSOLUT Original, Kahlúa, freshly brewed espresso, maple syrup, and a dash of Fee Brothers bitters.
