NAVAN MarTEAni Cocktail Party : Tuesday, July 10, 2007, 7-9 PM, NAVAN MarTEAni Cocktail Party @ the home of Marie Samuels, 19th Street, Gramercy Park, New York, NY.  Society hostesses Stephanie Chassing, Blair McClure Husain, Marie Samuels, Tracy Stern and Susan Shin   joined NAVAN in welcoming its orchid-organza and summer chic clad guests at the stunning town home of Bill and Marie Samuels for the NAVAN MarTEAni party, featuring a novel variety of NAVAN martinis and starring the NAVAN Chai MarTEAni and the NAVAN Vanilla MarTEAni.  Guests such as actress-singer-dancer Bebe Neuwirth, David Anton, designer Gustavo Arango, interior designer Geoffrey Bradfield, Dr. Geoffrey Scott Carroll, Ann Caruso, Ann Dexter Jones, Anisha Lakhani, actor-producer Zach Galligan, Lionel Geneste, Kristian Laliberte of Unruly Heir, Jeff Lincoln, Lara Meiland, Olivia Palermo, Nick Raynes, George Steinbrenner, designer Vivienne Tam, celebrity hairstylist Roy Teeluck, Annabel Vartanian, designer  John and Joyce Varvatos and Chessy Wilson were greeted with silk orchids to be pinned to their cascading tresses or lapels, for the gentlemen. NAVAN (NAtural VANilla) Liqueur is the most recent creation of the House of Grand Marnier, which is world-renowned for its expertise in making ultra-premium liqueurs such as the cognac-orange liqueur, Grand Marnier.   Benefiting from this expertise and heritage, NAVAN is the only vanilla spirit made exclusively with natural vanilla from Madagascar -- the world’s best.  The most beloved spice in the world, the essence of natural vanilla is complex, powerful and evocative, and it is the star ingredient of NAVAN.  Natural vanilla is derived from the Vanilla Orchid, one of 35,000 varieties of orchid that grow only in certain areas of the globe and is flown to France where it is married with fine French cognac that has been aged for up to 10 years.  Once blended, NAVAN is aged for another 6 months so the flavors can mature together.  More than 150 eaux-de-vie from 500 distilleries were delicately blended to create NAVAN, resulting in a soft amber color that translates into clean and delicate notes of honey, butterscotch and vanilla bean.  Subtle oak characteristics with hints of dried fruits detectable on the nose combine naturally with a full-bodied texture on the palate with consistent flavors of honey and vanilla ice-cream with pronounced dried apricots.
