Tanqueray Gin x Coach are partnering for New York Fashion Week, with Tanqueray serving as the official gin sponsor of Coach’s runway show and afterparty as the American fashion house celebrates its 85th anniversary: The collaboration brings cocktail culture into the milestone programming through two dedicated serves designed around the occasion.
At the center of the partnership is the 'Coach Tanqueray Martini,' a New York-inspired interpretation of the classic cocktail. The serve combines "Tanqueray London Dry Gin with extra-dry vermouth and olive brine before being garnished with three olives for a savory finish." Meanwhile, the 'Coach 85' commemorates the anniversary through a brighter combination of "Tanqueray London Dry Gin, pink grapefruit, and lemon."
Together, the cocktails translate elements of Coach’s anniversary into the hospitality experience, extending the collaboration from the runway to the afterparty while connecting fashion, cocktail presentation, and celebratory event programming.
