Karrueche Tran Hosted a Courvoisier Dînatoire Party in NYC to Kick Off Summer

“Bring Your Own Courvoisier, #BYOCV” is all about bringing the energy with you when you walk into a room and embracing the party before the party. It’s about highlighting the pregame moments that set the tone for the night and the anticipatory energy that invigorates the moment, which the cognac brand showcases in a new short film starring Emmy Award-winning actress Karrueche Tran and stylist Bloody Osiris.

In the film, the two show how they bring their own Courvoisier, elevating nights out with refreshing cocktail recipes. Last night, they brought those good vibes to New York City’s Elysée’s for a dinner party that kicked off the brand’s Courvoisier Dînatoire series, which will bring early-evening social experiences to different cities, elevated by a French flair.

The night kicked off with a toast from Tran, who shared that Courvoisier has been a long-time pre-party staple for her — “A dînatoire is all about enjoying the moment and Courvoisier for me is legendary — we all know the song…’Pass the Courvoisier!’” The menu included specialty Courvoisier cocktails, including Tran’s favorite, a Courvoisier Lemonade, alongside wagyu bites with crispy rice, lamp chop lollipops, chicken skewers, shrimp, crispy mushroom and more.

When guests weren’t eating or watching the premiere of the campaign film, The Courvoisier Call, they were encouraged to engage in conversation, using #BYOCV ice-breaker cards at each place setting. Attendees also each received one of the new custom Courvoisier leather tote bags, rolling out later this year for fans who purchase bottles at key retailers. Each included a bottle of the spirit, of course, so everyone could bring their own Courvoisier, and guests had a chance to really make the bottles their own with personal engravings.

The vibes were high all night and the drinks and conversations were both flowing. If you want to find out when the next Courvoisier Dînatoire experience comes to your city, visit courvoisier.com to learn more about the campaign and stay updated on BYOCV news.
