Hennessy X Os Gêmeos

For it's third artist collaboration, cognac brand Hennessy has invited Os Gêmeos to design a limited-edition bottle label. The Brazilian identical-twin brothers, Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo (os gemeos means "twins" in Portuguese), said their design, quite a departure from the graffiti-like art they're known for, is similar to a drawing each of the brothers did when they were around 6 years old. Today, the twins are busy in their São Paulo studio preparing for two big exhibitions: one in Brazil in 2014 and one in NYC in 2015.




Meanwhile, Hennessy, which began its artist collaboration in 2011 with Kaws and followed in 2012 with Futura, is finalizing which artist it will partner with for 2014. Every Limited Edition Hennessy V.S bottle in this artist series is individually numbered.

Here's a recipe from the twins for a cocktail called Brazil Spice: 

Brazil Spice
1.5 oz Hennessy V.S
.5 Fresh Lime juice
.5 Fresh Simple Syrup
Splash of soda
Optional: 4 dashes of Angostura bitters
Garnish: Lime wheel

Note: The lime and simple syrup can be substituted with 1 oz of sourmix.
Method: Shake all ingredients but the sprite and strain into a rocks glass with ice add a splash of sprite and garnish with lime wheel.
