On Monday, December 1, Minus5 Ice Bar, the coolest bar in Las Vegas, continued its celebrity cocktail program by honoring "Rockstar of the Art World" Michael Godard, with a new signature cocktail - the We O-Live For This. In addition, the debut of the new limited edition signature cocktail is also a toast to the two new ice encapsulated Michael Godard paintings that are now on display in the Minus5 Monte Carlo V-"ICE"-P room. Godard suited up in one of Minus 5's black fur coats, and entered the bar to admire his paintings "Black Jack Pimps" and "Poker Pips," whilst posing for photos with his line of liquor bottles, Michael Godard Vodka, as well as the signature cocktail. As Minus5 Ice Bar is always looking for featured ice carvings that capture the spirit of Las Vegas, creating an ice installation featuring Godard's art was a perfect match.

While the cocktail name is an ode to Godard's long time artistic muse, olives, the cocktail packs a sweet punch to the palate utilizing a blending of fruit flavors. The drink is crafted using a unique mix of Michael Godard Vodka, Banana Liqueur, Melon Liqueur, Pineapple Juice and Sweet and Sour Mix served in Minus5's signature ice glasses. Other celebrity cocktails include Holly Madison's Holly Mad-ICE-on, Carrot Top's Heat Miser, Human Nature's Inhumane Nature, Laura Croft's Hypnoti-School Girl, FANTASY's Fant-ICE-see, Frankie Moreno's Crown and Coke-o-nut, Terry Fator's Darth Fator, Veronic's Très Chic with Véronic and PANDA!'s PANDA!Rita, just to name a few.

Michael Godard has been featured on HBO's "Cat House," A&E's "Criss Angel's Mind Freak," "American Casino," "Inked," and a myriad of other media. A documentary on Godard's life featured at independent film festivals winning numerous awards. His Book, "Don't Drink and Draw", the art and life of Michael Godard, was awarded Art Book of the Year. Godard's work is highly collected by movie stars, rock stars and private collectors of all ages and backgrounds. Today Michael Godard is considered one of the most prolific and influential artists of our time.
