Step aside cognac and champagne, the new movement in Hip Hop is Moscato. Last night in Los Angeles, SKYY Vodka unveiled the “House of Moscato,” an exclusive cultural hub highlighting the new world of Hip Hop ” an intriguing blend of music, art, fashion, design and cocktailing. Music’s hottest performer, Theophilus London hosted the event, which also served as the launch of new SKYY Infusions Moscato Grape, the first nationally available vodka infused with delectable, sweet Moscato Grapes.

Just as SKYY Infusions Moscato Grape creates an innovative cocktailing experience by combining two nightlife darlings, Moscato grapes and premium SKYY Vodka, into a singular cocktail experience, the House of Moscato celebrates the artists who transcend traditional hip hop music boundaries. From Theophilus London, who has worked with leading artists in almost every musical category to create a range of diversified sounds, to Kesh, a downtown doyenne who also serves as Jeremy Scott’s muse, these unique artists embody a cultural relevance that renders compartmentalized old genres obsolete.

The House of Moscato aims to embody and showcase these unique artists’ shared manifesto through a distinctive blend of culture, music and cocktailing.
