Introducing the Monaco Spritz: the cocktail by Charles Leclerc and Chivas Regal. The Monaco Spritz, Charles Leclerc’s signature cocktail, will make its debut.

Chivas Regal, the iconic Scotch whisky brand, has announced its collaboration with Charles Leclerc, appointing him as a Global Brand Ambassador. The partnership will have its first major event with the opening of an exclusive temporary piano bar in Melbourne on March 11, just days before the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season, where The Monaco Spritz, Charles Leclerc’s signature cocktail, will make its debut.

Chivas Regal and Leclerc: a fusion of passion and craftsmanship
The goal of this collaboration is to inspire fans to find their own path to success, combining the world of Formula 1 with the sophistication of Scotch whisky. The partnership will also explore Charles Leclerc’s passions outside of racing, particularly his love for music and the piano.

Beyond being a champion on the track, the Monegasque is a talented, self-taught pianist and composer. In recent years, he has shared his passion for music with fans, releasing pieces that reflect the same precision and dedication that define his racing career. This synergy perfectly aligns with the art of blending at Chivas Regal, where every ingredient and step of the process is essential to creating a unique experience.

Nick Blacknell, Global Marketing Director of Chivas Regal, commented:
“It’s no secret that Charles has achieved extraordinary success in life, but what inspired this partnership was his tenacious spirit, commitment to excellence, and passions beyond the track. The 88 notes of the piano find a fascinating parallel with the 85 flavor nuances of our iconic Chivas 18 expression. Both music and whisky blend passion and precision. We can’t wait to take fans on this celebratory journey.”

Charles Leclerc, enthusiastic about the collaboration, added:
“Success means knowing how to mix all the right notes, both on and off the track. My craft requires time, precision, and dedication, but what truly drives me is the journey, my passions, and the moments shared along the way. Chivas Regal embodies the same ethos, encouraging people to find their rhythm and celebrate every victory, big or small. I’m excited to redefine success together and share this experience with the fans.”
