CARLOS I
Limited Edition Design
x Felipao
Carlos I and the Spanish artist FELIPAO have combined forces to create a unique limited edition product, featuring his iconic menina.
BUYThe design reflects the artist
It offers us a sensory experience that evokes the aromas, nuances and origin of this Gran Reserva solera brandy. Felipao’s creation was inspired by his visit to the Osborne cellars in El Puerto de Santa María. Gardens blooming with bougainvillea, the bright green of the vineyards, the blue of the sea and the orange sunsets come together in a palette of vibrant colours, full of history; a fitting presentation for this velvety-textured creation with great aromatic intensity.
Felipao
This limited edition brings together fashion and tradition.
Just like Felipao's reinterpretation of the menina, which serves as a metaphor for Carlos I, the contemporary presentation of this delicious sherry brandy brings it to a wider audience.
I WANT IT
FELIPAO
"Just like other beverages that have become fashionable and updated their image, brandy must do so too."
by Felipao
To celebrate this project, we have extended our cocktail list, developing four exquisite drinks with the help of the artist Felipao. With the same aim of bringing brandy to a wider and more diverse audience, we’ve prepared this selection featuring some simpler mixed drinks that you can prepare at home.
Cocktails
Bougainvillea Bliss
Ingredients
- 30 ml Brandy Carlos I
- 120 ml Blue butterfly pea flower tea
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 25 ml Lemongrass syrup
Elaboration
Make the tea and leave to cool. Once cool, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all the ingredients except the lemon juice, which should be left until serving, to create an element of surprise with the change of colour that occurs. This cocktail shows Carlos I in a more unusual way, a lemon-based drink that adds an infusion of sweet and oaky touches, with slight hints of red fruit, to a citrus base.Garnish:

Put some ice in a glass, add the ingredients in order to create the visual effect of a sunrise, adding the grenadine last of all so that the colour trickles through to create a silhouette, and decorate with an orange segment. A cocktail with a balanced citric and fruity flavour, an elegant way to serve brandy with its raisined and earthy notes.Garnish:
