Raise your glasses for World Cocktail Day! To mark the start of their official partnership, SKYY Vodka and Mr Thela are shaking things up with the release of a new signature cocktail, the Thunderstorm.

World Cocktail Day, celebrated globally on 13 May, pays tribute to the birth of the cocktail as we know it. Originally defined as a mix of spirits, sweets, waters, and bitters, mixology has evolved into an artform—and cocktails have become a reason to celebrate, innovate, and bring people together. The Thunderstorm perfectly captures this spirit with its bold mix of flavours and Mr Thela's dynamic influence, making it the ultimate party starter.

Crafted with SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka and SKYY Infusions Peach Vodka, the Thunderstorm’s burst of mouth-watering flavours embody the unstoppable spirit of its co-creator. It’s his new go-to when he’s unwinding at home, in the studio, with friends, or when celebrating.
