A Day full of Celebrities & Gifting at the Emmy Awards

You have probably heard about the free swag celebrities get around award time, right? Last week, my products were one of those gifted items when I attended an Emmy Awards Gifting Suite!

I was invited to share my absinthe and small batch syrups at the 73rd Emmy Awards, so I packed up a van full of 2 oz bottles with product and drove from Oakland down to LA. By 8 am, I was setting up my table. Before the doors opened, I walked around to meet the other brands. What a collection of inspiring entrepreneurs! The gifting suite included everything from sustainable and safe feminine products, a cannabis company handing out pre-rolled joints and butane lighters, candles, and more.

At 10am, the celebrities started rolling in! Jax Malcom, award-winning actor and director and still under 21 years old, he was very excited about our mocktail recipes!

Splash Magazines has a wonderful write-up of the gifting suite event with this blurb about my product:

"Absinthia is both the name of the founder and CEO as well as her company selling bottled absinthe. It is a very delicious bottled spirit that has an after-taste of licorice. The most refined liquor I have personally ever tasted. It soothed the palette and offers a non-traditional alternative to the common shelf liquors."

I couldn't agree with them more! The character and detail of my absinthe brings out the uniqueness of wormwood and anise (the herbs that create the licorice taste). It is a non-traditional alternative to the common shelf liquor options. Try it for yourself or splurge on a set of small batch syrups. Pick up a bottle from my store at absinthia.com
