How to make the cocktail of the moment: Moon Daze

Love sneakers and cocktails? Then you're in the right place. As one of the ultimate brands of Nordic normcore, New Balance has introduced 'Grey Day', an unofficial annual holiday for sneaker-lovers everywhere, celebrating its innovative grey-hued shoe line that has reigned supreme since the 1970s.

Grey Day also marks the launch of New Balance's bespoke Moon Daze collection. Sharing the same name is a custom cocktail created in collaboration with Copenhagen-based Aeris – set to be served up at New Balance's pop-up Moon Daze speakeasy bar in central Stockholm.

The Moon Daze cocktail, housed in Aeris' signature squared bottle, is a refreshing twist on the brand's classic Grapefruit Margarita blend. "It's the perfect drink to start the summer: fresh, sour, smokey and sweet,' says Nic Neubauer, co-founder of Aeris.

Say no more. Below, Aeris exclusively releases its ingredient list and the easy steps to make your own Moon Daze.
