HAMBURG, FEBRUARY 10th, 2014 – This year, a Munich native will set the scene at L.A.’s most important film awards of the year. Cihan Anadologlu (32), head bartender at the prestigious Schumann's™, will present his drink creation Amérique Cherie to world stars at a selection of exclusive after-show parties.
GREY GOOSE®, The World’s Best Tasting Vodka, celebrates those who share a passion to achieve the extraordinary. During the prestigious award season those guests will be raising a toast to the world’s best in film with a selection of cocktails including Amérique Cherie.
This past September, Cihan Anadologlu took part in his first cocktail competition, the GREY GOOSE 10. In the French Cognac region, the home of the premium vodka, he captured the first prize against bartenders from 13 countries. He won a trip to Los Angeles for the events on March 2nd, 2014. At various after parties, he will mix his winning drink Amérique Cherie for world stars.
“I wish all of the nominees the best of luck. It would be a huge honour if one or two stars would celebrate their first award with my drink,” says the 32-year-old. His dream can be fulfilled in March.

Both the film industry and GREY GOOSE share the same daring spirit and passionate pursuit of the extraordinary, after all “if you can imagine it, it can be done.” (François Thibault).
