Garcelle Beauvais Reveals Her Favorite Flavor From Her New Absolut Partnership

Naturally, Garcelle Beauvais can't pick just one favorite flavor from Absolut's summery citrus line of vodkas. And why should she? There needs to be enough to go around and experiment with all summer long.

When asked which flavor from the line is her favorite, the former "The Real" co-host said, "Oh my God. It's hard because I go back between mandarin and grapefruit, but I'm going to go with grapefruit today." But she was quick to add, "You have to try them all, actually." 

This is a testament to the drinks' flavors, but it's also a testament to the experience Beauvais had working with the company. It's furthermore a love letter to community, which she's been missing. "We went through the past couple of years of being isolated, being at home. Now that we can entertain, let's entertain — let's not do it in the backyard," Beauvais told us. "Let's do it in the front yard and have more people come."

"Growing up, we would sit on stoops, we would see our neighbors, we would gossip, we would laugh, we would have a good time," she explained, showing that this is a return to form for her. Ultimately, Beauvais sums up her partnership in one succinct sentence: "I can't wait for the summer because I'm so excited by these drinks."

Garcelle Beauvais and Absolut's Front Yard Citrus Club Cocktail Kits can be purchased at ReserveBar for $215.
