- The cocktail “I got a feeling” will be a “beautiful blend of raspberries, vodka and rosemary.”
History: Apl.de.Ap, Lydster and Vo founded We Are Ballistik because of “their common interest to bring people together and have fun,” the Ballistik Team told NextShark.
- The group plans to continue hosting ongoing events throughout Las Vegas with the main objective of “paying it forward and helping their various social causes and foundations.”
- “The trio have all worked independently on pushing topics of Asian culture into the mainstream. Together the three are beginning to explore topics for content through different mediums and products that further their stories, their past, and their future,” they said.
- The long-term goal is to “use a portion of each of their projects to create positive social impacts” in addition to “bridging the gap from the places they live to the places they came from.”
