Sex And The City Cocktails
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
You may have heard that The Sex and The City movie is opening up this weekend but did you know that Skyy Vodka has created drinks named after the stars of the film?
In the TV Show Carrie Bradshaw almost single handedly made the Cosmopolitan the must have cocktail for women in bars. So I guess Skyy is hoping that it happens again with "The New Cosmo". There's a drink for each of the Sex and the City ladies plus one for Mr. Big as well.

P. Diddy and Ciroc
Wednesday, March 12, 2008
So what is the deal between Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Ciroc Vodka all about? You'd think it was another celebrity endorsement but it appears to be much more. Apparently Diddy is doing some marketing for Ciroc as well.
Besides the usual marketing videos that you see all over YouTube and other video sharing sites lately, he's also trying out shareable widgets. The hope is that people will put these widgets all over their MySpace and Facebook pages or their blogs and spread the word about Ciroc Vodka.
I would have added one to this blog post as an example but I can't seem to find one. Doesn't look like many people are sharing them yet.

TRU Organic Vodka
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Organic alcohol seems to be all the rage lately. TRU Vodka was recently launched by Modern Spirits as "the first line of certified organic vodkas made from American wheat".
Now they aren't the first green vodka, but it's the first completely organic, American-Made Organic Vodka. You don't see being American Made used in marketing campaigns much anymore but in the very international alcohol and spirits industry, this might be a good thing for green products. Think of all the airplane fuel saved because this vodka didn't have to be shipped overseas. Sort of like saying, drink locally, act globally. 
So what is organic vodka? Well in TRU's case it means they raise their crops without the use of harsh chemicals like pesticides. They also used recycled glass for their bottles and the company even plants a tree for every bottle sold.
I haven't seen it yet at any of my local liquor stores but I'll keep an eye out for it so I can do a taste test.

Looks like Smirnoff has added two new flavored vodkas to their lineup. The new flavors are Passion Fruit and White Grape.
Add those to their existing flavors, Black Cherry, Blueberry, Citrus, Cranberry, Green Apple, Lime, Orange, Raspberry, Strawberry, Vanilla and Watermelon, and you've got some serious options for martinis and other vodka based cocktails.

Green Vodka
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
When I first heard about this new Green Vodka, the environment wasn't the first thing that popped into my head. I actually thought about the green beer that they serve at pubs on Saint Patrick's Day. But no, 360 Vodka is not the color green, it's environmentally green.
More and more green products are showing up all over the place lately but this is the first one that I've seen in the Alcohol/Spirits Industry. Their website says,
360 vodka is crafted from a philosophy for eco-awareness and corporate responsibility. This ideology is then manifested throughout our greener processes and greener products
So how do you make vodka green? Well they quadruple distill their vodka and filter it five times. This allows for less raw materials being wasted during the distilling process. The bottle is also 85% recycled glass and the paper used in the packaging is processed 100% chlorine free.
They even have a promotion running where you send back the bottle top and 360 will donate a dollar to an environmental cause. These guys aren't just going through the motions, they are actually running their business in an environmentally sound way.
I think this is a great idea and more alcohol corporations should follow their lead. In truth, all corporations in all industries should start considering the eco-footprint that they leave and look for ways to improve their products from an environmental point of view.
But if you're like me, you want to know the most important thing about 360 Vodka. What does it taste like? Well I'll see if I can get my hands on a bottle and set up a taste test. Regardless of the taste, I do think that products like this are a step in the right direction.
