Hosted by CPJ Limited in partnership with Rémy Cointreau, the chic affair seamlessly blended premium cocktails, live entertainment and contemporary culture, marking the arrival of a brand poised to reshape Jamaica’s premium spirits landscape.
The invitation-only event attracted an impressive cross-section of Jamaica’s lifestyle community, including media personalities, influencers, entertainers, hospitality professionals and social tastemakers, all eager to experience the newest addition to the island’s premium beverage market.
Among the stylish guests were Jamaican model Miqueal-Symone, beauty queen and dancehall artiste AnnaLeaX, rising dancehall star Jamairii and several other notable faces from Kingston’s vibrant social scene, whose fashion choices transformed Republic Lounge into a showcase of modern Jamaican elegance.
Hosted by media personality Chiney K, the evening introduced guests to Rémy V through an immersive cocktail experience led by acclaimed mixologist Denny. Signature creations highlighted the spirit’s versatility, demonstrating how the crystal-clear French grape spirit effortlessly transitions from refreshing mixed drinks to elevated cocktails and premium bottle-service occasions.
Crafted exclusively from premium French grapes, Rémy V offers a refined 40 per cent alcohol by volume profile that combines smoothness with exceptional mixability, positioning it as a sophisticated choice for contemporary consumers seeking versatility without compromising quality.
“Jamaica is a natural fit for Rémy V because our culture understands flavour, energy, hospitality and celebration,” said Asanya Spaulding, Brand Manager for the Rémy Cointreau Portfolio at CPJ Limited.
“Rémy V brings together French grape-based craftsmanship, versatility and premium presentation, allowing it to move naturally across Jamaica’s dining, entertainment and nightlife spaces.”
Spaulding noted that the enthusiastic reception reinforced the brand’s confidence in the local market.
