The Lounge & Bar at the [Ritz-Carlton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-cocktail-menu) now offers designer cocktails specifically designed as "Him & Her" drinks by fashion icon [Jimmy Choo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-crystal-slipper). The cocktails take inspiration from the Jimmy Choo Autumn/Winter 2014 collection and are decorated with lavish garnishes that will appease all shoe lovers.

For her, the Jimmy Choo cocktail takes cues from a delicate orchid flower, showing off a vibrant color from a mix of raspberry, vodka, lime and elderflower liqueur. In contrast, the more masculine drink is made from a French herbal liqueur and an 18-year Islay smoky single malt, topped off with vermouth for a taste that's slightly bitter and sweet. For non-drinkers, there's a third cocktail—the Virgintini Berry Cloud, that's just as dreamy.
