Absolut is officially announcing its brand partnership with artist and businesswoman Paris Hilton and her next-gen media company, 11:11 Media, as two icons bring back the Cosmo in culture through a new drinkware line, music and events.

Crafted using Absolut Citron with its fresh, real citrus flavor, the Absolut Cosmo is a light and refreshing cocktail that can be sipped casually at home, yet sophisticated enough to be at the center of any event.

Absolut Citron is part of the history and culture of the Cosmo going back to the ‘80s, and now decades later, this cocktail continues to be an icon.

As the Official Vodka of Coachella, Absolut and Paris gave fans an easter egg of the collaboration at the ultimate mixing grounds with her surprise appearance at the Absolut.LAND activation, and now, the Sliving Cosmo festival serve is getting a new drinkware glow up to enhance everyday happy hours. Introducing the Absolut x Paris Hilton Cosmo Collection – an all-new blush pink Cosmo-inspired drinkware line available exclusively on Amazon starting today. Building on Paris' best-selling cookware line, the collection marks Paris' first foray into drinkware that includes three styles of short-stemmed, hand-blown martini glasses available in a set of two ($29), as well as an insulated pink cocktail shaker with gold accents and a gold jigger ($25).

"From teaming up with Absolut for my first live show last summer through personal celebrations and professional events this year, I'm so excited to announce my new drinkware line designed to be enjoyed with an Absolut Cosmo," said Paris Hilton, CEO of 11:11 Media. "Let's slive our best life this summer by bringing the Cosmo back – whether entertaining at home or at one of my upcoming shows."
