For The Peurrari, the artist has invented a “Peurarri”.. a logo that is half Peugeot and half Ferrari… bridging the class divide.

Proposed for The Peurrari, is the cocktail ‘Auntie Deva’, also invented by the artist. The ‘Auntie Deva’ contains half Pernod and half Ricard (the same spirit with different names, made by the same company: one drunk by French agricultural working class in the south, the other drunk by the French bourgeoisie elite in Paris) again bridging the class divide.

Gander has shared it is a “cocktail of two halves, a good measure of prevention and lashings of envy”.
