Pairing Vinyl with Cocktails – Victrola
Pairing Vinyl with Cocktails
Go to slide 1
What's better than sipping on a good cocktail and listening to an album that's even better on vinyl? Absolutely nothing.
We recently partnered up with Adam Sloan, who runs an account all about pairing drinks with music called Soundtrack My Drink, to gather several cocktail-making Instagrammers and task them with crafting a drink that pairs with a certain album.
The album choices were as follows: [The National - “First Two Pages of Frankenstein"](/content/products/the-national-first-two-pages-of-frankenstein "The National "First Two Pages of Frankenstein""/index.html), [Fugazi - “Seven Songs”](/content/products/fugazi-seven-songs "Fugazi "Seven Songs""/index.html), [SZA - “SOS"](/content/products/sza-sos "SZA "SOS""/index.html), [White Stripes - “Elephant” 20th Anniversary](/content/products/white-stripes-elephant-20th-anniversary "White Stripes "Elephant 20th Anniversary""/index.html), [Fleetwood Mac - “Rumours”](/content/products/fleetwood-mac-rumours "Fleetwood Mac "Rumours""/index.html), [Amy Winehouse - “Back To Black”](/content/products/amy-winehouse-back-to-black-1 "Amy Winehouse "Back to Black""/index.html), [Lauryn Hill - “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”](/content/products/lauryn-hill-miseducation-of-lauryn-hill-1 "Lauryn Hill "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill""/index.html), [Kendrick Lamar - “To Pimp A Butterfly”](/content/products/kendrick-lamar-to-pimp-a-butterfly "Kendrick Lamar "To Pimp a Butterfly""/index.html), [Sex Pistols - "Never Mind the Bollocks”](/content/products/the-sex-pistols-never-mind-the-bollocks "The Sex Pistols "Never Mind the Bollocks""/index.html).
