They hired bad boy Paris artist Andre to promote the liquor and tag the bottle. And, of course, he's the star of the launch parties (the one in Los Angeles just took place on Feb. 5th ) and the New York launch took place last night at The Bowery Hotel.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who is Andre?</span><br /><br />Andre Saraiva (aka Andre or Mr. A) was born in Sweden and raised in Paris. At 36 years old, has his hand in several ventures; nightclub impresario, co-owner of the hip NY hotspot, the <a href="http://nymag.com/listings/bar/beatrice-inn/">Beatrice Inn </a>and a fashion designer who has his own boutique in Paris, the <a href="http://www.blackblock.org/">Black Block. </a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKAvoVmOhD4KwdMeIwDCI6FgspHLsjzEzrPoTz1tJ9JzulHhowZGfuW4yKIBsxWizLD1ndQ2gNbJGikZSCKXq3P5tHevW7na-u9W-W52Yru1Z56j4LyniwCx8Zp1ZIrqP1uIujFcNLS5xB/s1600-h/andre1006.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300967319929351458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKAvoVmOhD4KwdMeIwDCI6FgspHLsjzEzrPoTz1tJ9JzulHhowZGfuW4yKIBsxWizLD1ndQ2gNbJGikZSCKXq3P5tHevW7na-u9W-W52Yru1Z56j4LyniwCx8Zp1ZIrqP1uIujFcNLS5xB/s400/andre1006.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
