Vibe Check:
The Velvet Sunset blends tropical and dessert-like flavors with a hint of coffee and spice, evoking the smooth, slow decadence of the late 70s—where tiki bars met swanky lounges.
Listen to: Fleetwood Mac – Rumours (1977)
Lush harmonies, emotional storytelling, and timeless grooves make Rumours the ultimate 70s album to pair with this rich, velvety cocktail. Pour, sip, and let “Dreams” take you away.
