Cole Porter was born. He was an American composer and songwriter, a great of Broadway, one who wrote amazing songs, sung by any big name you could mention (and by big names we mean Frank Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald).

Many of Cole Porter's songs have very evocative titles: we turn them into a series of names for bottled cocktails. The name of the brand is Cole's Quarter and the bottles measure exactly 25 cl, that is one quarter.

We create a logo that inspires all the graphics: on the labels, every cocktail is interpreted in a different way, starting off with the same basic elements.

I’ve Got You Under My Skin
Bloody Mary
Sharp, unique and irresistible, it becomes a part of you.

Night & Day
Gin & Tonic
It's a classic: always good, in every occasion.

Begin the Beguine
Margarita
A Caribbean rhythm slightly slower than Rumba. Beach, palm trees... a memory forever vivid.

Just One of Those Things
Stinger
Those things too hot not to cool down. It was great fun but it was just one of those things.

I Love Paris
Boulevardier
You love it in the winter when it drizzles as well as in the summer when it sizzles.

Don’t Fence Me In
Mint Julep
Wild lands, starry skies, freedom.

Every Time we say Goodbye
Manhattan
A love song the changes from major to minor, yet remains the finest love song.
