Continuing on a mission to inspire and enable unique experiences, the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project has uncovered the best of global nightlife, and will now celebrate the outcome when two very different cultures collide to create something extraordinary. A community of more than 40,000<\/em> <\/strong>people from across the country submitted more than five hundred <\/em><\/strong>suggestions for what best characterises nightlife in Ireland\u2013 from fashion trends and musical styles to locally inspired cocktails \u2013 via Facebook (http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SmirnoffIreland). <\/em>Once all of the suggestions were in, Irish curator Siobhan O\u2019Dowd <\/em>selected the ones that best represented Ireland\u2019s vibrant and varied nightlife. These ingredients will now be packed into a crate for Argentina \u00a0to experience when the world swaps nights in an epic finale on 27th<\/sup> November. It can now be revealed that Argentina can look forward to experiencing entertainment by Irish Dance DJ Dave DeValera along with delicious Irish themed food served in the setting of a traditional Irish pub.\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019ll also be getting a customised crate courtesy of\u00a0 Irish artist Graphic Artist Shane O\u2019Driscoll, who screen printed iconic Irish imagery, both old and new, inspired by Irish nightlife on one of the panels of the Irish crate that is to be shipped to Argentina.\u00a0 And, what drink will they be enjoying on the night?\u00a0 Well, that\u2019ll be an Irish take on the Smirnoff Mule, using the special Irish ingredient of red lemonade!
