In the early 80s, Andy Warhol created over 40 works featuring the distinctive ‘teardrop’ Perrier bottle in a vibrant colour palette, representative of the Pop Art movement and his fascination with depicting everyday consumer products in unconventional ways.
In celebration of Perrier’s 150th anniversary, Nestle Waters Canada pays tribute to the late artist with a series of limited-edition Perrier Sparkling Water bottles and these four Warhol-inspired cocktails to enjoy at home on your own or with guests.
