At its core, Grand Marnier celebrates Grand Encounters, born out of our proprietary blend of cognac and orange liqueur.
The Rouge Roomacts as a consistent visual space where the brand can bring to life contemporary Grand Encounters year over year.For the cognac brand, the space serves as the starting point for storytelling and content— a Grand Marnier home where something grand is always on the horizon. By inviting different collaborators to the same space, Grand Marnier charges The Rogue Room with cultural relevance and an expectation of Grand Encounters that are soon to become as iconic as the brand itself. Keep an eye on this space for more.
In the inaugural iteration of The Rouge Room, Grand Marnier and 2 Chainz joined forces blending two distinct worlds, united by a mutual dedication to creativity and passion.
Renowned as one of the most prolific collaborators in the music industry, 2 Chainz embodies the very essence of a Grand Encounter. His exceptional talent seamlessly enhances the work of his partners, resulting in a harmonious fusion of creativity and artistry.
I’ve always been a margarita fan, but I found the secret ingredient that makes the classic even better: Grand Marnier,” said 2 Chainz. “I tried a Grand Marnier Quintessence margarita a few years back on my show ‘Most Expensivest’ and let me tell you that blend of cognac and orange is pure magic. It’s a whole vibe upgrade for your margarita and drink style.”
Step into The Rouge Room, where 2 Chainz takes center stage, showcasing how the blend of Grand Marnier’s key ingredients can elevate the classic margarita to new heights for Cinco de Mayo and beyond.
Filmed completely immersed in rich hues of Grand Marnier red, featuring a distinct texture and pattern reminiscent of a photographic cyc, with hints of liquid-like patterning and marbling infused throughout brings the essence of the Grand Encounter to life through a vibrant setting mirroring the interior of a Grand Marnier bottle.
“Teaming up with 2 Chainz for the launch of The Rouge Room content series allows us to forge deeper connections with consumers seeking new ways to savor and sip Grand Marnier,” said Andrea Sengara, Vice President of Marketing for Campari America. “This series not only highlights the blend of fine cognac and orange liqueur, but also invites consumers to reimagine their cocktail experience, from elevating the classic margarita to sparking inspiration and discovering their own unique ways of enjoying Grand Marnier.”
The creative was captured by director Ray Neutron, an Atlanta native, known for his inquisitive storytelling in both video and photography to create a timeless and cinematic final product.
The work was complemented by visuals from Breyona Holt, another Atlanta-born photographer renowned for her unique approach who has earned recognition in the music industry producing cover art for various artists including SZA and Normani.
While 2 Chainz’s bold look—a custom rouge suit—was curated by stylist Erik Ziemba, a true master of his craft whose extraordinary talent, unwavering passion, and commitment to making a difference have made him one of the industries brightest, collaborating with music icons including Beyoncé and Lil Kim to name a few. Together this blending of creatives from diverse backgrounds built a Grand Encounter in itself, to produce content that truly speaks to how Grand Marnier enhances the cocktail experience.

Award-winning music producer, acclaimed syndicated radio personality, and philanthropist, Frank Ski, has released Climate Change, a captivating nine-track ambient soundtrack inspired by The Frank Ski Kids Foundation’s (FSKF) unforgettable expeditions across the globe.
The first single to debut from his passion project “Amazon Sunrise (Lovely Day),” was released on Earth Day on his label, Future Sights and Sounds.“For 20 years now, I’ve been taking students worldwide to endangered locations impacted by climate change. During these expeditions, we study the negative effects of climate change on our planet and work through solutions to mitigate the dangers that impact these places. While these places are in peril, they are in many ways still breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences,” shares Frank Ski.
He said that the compositions from Climate Change initially started as journal entries and recordings capturing the sights, smells, and sounds of each location.“The recordings were then turned into an artistic musical homage capturing these majestic places, not just visually, but also through the power of evocative sound.”
Climate Change lis a unique artistic endeavor that takes listeners on a 9-song captivating sonic voyage through diverse landscapes immersing you in the sights and sounds Frank encountered during these scientific expeditions.
The first single, Amazon Sunrise (Lovely Day) opens with the sweet sound of chirping birds captured in the Amazon Rainforest offering a glimpse into the project’s captivating soundscape. A modern interpretation of Bill Withers’ iconic 1977 classic, “Amazon Sunrise (Lovely Day),” is a sonic representation of the promise of a beautiful new day.
“One of The Frank Ski Kids Foundation’s first expeditions was to The Amazon Rainforest. I remember walking through the rainforest one morning with a cup of coffee, marveling at the sights, sounds, and smells of the jungle. As I looked up at the azure sky, the feeling of being there reminded me of a Bill Withers song, ‘Lovely Day,’ so I made a modern-day rendition of the song originally recorded by Withers in 1977.”
On each song, Frank Ski meticulously captures the essence of each visited country and region, documenting his experiences through music. The songs represent a deeply personal unique musical soundscape of his experiences, created with love, reverence, and appreciation for nature, the Earth, and its inhabitants.

A new traveling exhibition, “Sneaker Stories” presented by Modelo, will come to Atlanta’s Ponce City Market — and won’t want to miss it.
The event, which originated at the Miami Museum, will be in Georgia’s largest city for one weekend only, May 31 – June 2, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sunday.
This free experience will explore the historical ties and evolving relationship between graffiti art and sneaker culture through informative displays featuring rare sneakers and their corresponding art inspiration.
A first-of-its-kind contemporary art museum, Museum of Graffiti exhibits, educates and celebrates the thousands of graffiti artists who have transformed walls in public spaces into vibrant masterpieces.
With the “Sneaker Stories” pop-up, the Museum of Graffiti will bring its renowned unorthodox approach to urban art education to Atlanta. Presented as a faux sneaker store, this immersive museum experience will highlight the many seminal crossover collaborations between graffiti artists and global commercial brands like Nike, Adidas and Reebok.
Guests will be taken on a 20-year journey of collaboration that has seen sneakers transcend their original purpose to become integral to the fabric of urban culture and art. The exhibition will feature a selection of limited-edition sneakers displayed alongside their original artworks by artists including Futura, Cey Adams, Eric Haze, Claw Money and Faust, who have been tapped to create highly converted footwear that can sell on the secondary market for upwards of $20,000.
“Through ‘Sneaker Stories,’ we aim to celebrate the artists from the global graffiti art movement who have transitioned from the streets to appear inside the biggest companies in America, like Nike, Reebok and Adidas, and influenced countless others along the way,” says Alan Ket, co-founder of the Museum of Graffiti. “Thanks to our partnership with with Modelo, we’re able to bring this unique cultural exploration to Atlanta, inviting the community to uncover the stories behind the art and the artists who have routinely been stigmatized due to the negative connotations surrounding spray paint.”
Inside the pop-up, which will be located next to Nike at Ponce City Market, guests can also expect to find Museum of Graffiti’s world-class gift shop, packed with limited edition collectibles, rare books and apparel. At the complimentary sneaker customization bar, courtesy of Modelo, each pop-up visitor can also become a designer with colorful new laces, charms and buckle plates to personalize their own sneakers.
A panel discussion entitled “Fighting Spirit Stories” with Cey Adams, moderated by Atlanta’s own Dr. Dax, will take place on Saturday, June 1 at 6:30 p.m., followed by a limited edition print release and signing. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The bronzed shells and juicy meat found in Birria tacos can turn an ordinary Tuesday into an exiting extravaganza of Mexican cuisine for lunch or dinner. The only question is where can you find them?
Where Can I Get Birria Tacos In Atlanta?
In this article, we’ll explore several spots around Atlanta where you can buy an authentic birria taco. Once you try a taco at one of these places, you’ll be hooked.
Of course, birria tacos are a relatively new phenomena in Atlanta. You may be wondering where they come from.
Are Birria Tacos Of Mexican Origin?
There’s no dispute that tacos de Birria hail from a particular part of Mexico, Jalisco, to be exact. What makes Birria so good is that it’s actually a meat stew typically made from lamb, mutton or goat.
Birria can also be made with beef (carne de res). No matter what type of meat you use, the key is to use traditional Mexican spices and seasonings like dried chilies.

“The birria tacos I had were hands down the best birria tacos I have had. I have made birria tacos on my own and these tacos cut it real close to homemade. Although I do not think they used Oaxaca cheese, it was still very tasty. I plan to visit this place again and update with the pictures of their very beautiful birria dishes.”

It was perfectly blended. My husband had 3 pollo asado and I had 1 chorizo, 1 al pastor and 1 pollo asado. I had all of mine naked. They did not disappoint. To have a taco w/o salsa says a lot!!! I believe the Al pastor could’ve used some more flavor but still yummy!”
