Move over rum. There is a new, lighter tropical spirit on the
horizon bursting with the exotic taste of the islands. SKYY� Vodka
is proud to announce the latest addition to its SKYY Infusions� All
Natural line � succulent Pineapple. Launching this month, SKYY
Infusions All Natural Pineapple is the first Pineapple infused
vodka available nationwide. It joins the SKYY Infusions portfolio
of Citrus, Cherry, Passion Fruit, Raspberry and Grape, an
assortment of all natural infusions made from real fruit that was
already named �Best in Class� by the prestigious Beverage Tasting
Institute.
Perfect for a flavorful escape from the day-to-day, SKYY
Infusions Pineapple was developed for the modern tropical cocktail
as an alternative to heavy rums. The moment you open the bottle,
the aroma is lively, juicy and an explosion of fruit reminiscent of
an island vacation. SKYY Infusions Pineapple is created through a
proprietary process, where real fruit is infused into smooth SKYY
Vodka, creating a true-to-fruit taste experience bursting with the
explosive essence of sweet Pineapple.
�As the first Pineapple vodka infused with real fruit, SKYY
Infusions Pineapple showcases the sweet, refreshing flavor of one
of the most popular and versatile fruits on earth,� said Jason
Daniel, Senior Brand Manager for SKYY Vodka. �Our All Natural SKYY
Infusions capture the taste of succulent real Pineapple like no
ordinary flavored vodka ever could. It is the perfect base for a
wide range of tropically inspired cocktails that can be enjoyed
anywhere, anytime.�
Major cities on both coasts are experiencing a Tiki renaissance
of late with classic cocktails, like Scorpion Bowls, Mai Tais, Pina
Coladas and punches popping up on cocktail menus everywhere. Tiki
lounges and restaurants like Luau in Beverly Hills and The Rusty
Knot in New York are being reinvented for the modern Tiki
lover.
�People enjoy Tiki cocktails because they are fun,� said Barbi
Caruso, Bar Manager and Head Mixologist at Luau in Beverly Hills.
�Coming to places like Luau is like a mini-vacation. You might not
be able to afford a trip to Hawaii but you can still share a
Scorpion Bowl with friends.�
Mixologists and bartenders at restaurants and bars around the
country have already embraced SKYY Infusions Pineapple and have
integrated it into their nightly rituals. SKYY Infusions Pineapple
will be available nationwide starting in February. It will be
available in a 50ml ($1.99 MSRP), 750ml ($18.49 MSRP) and 1L
($26.49 MSRP) size bottle.
SKYY Infusions was launched in April 2008 by Skyy Spirits, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Gruppo Campari and the definitive
marketer and distributor of super-premium and luxury spirits brands
in North America. All six of the All Natural SKYY Infusions are
made with premium SKYY Vodka infused with real, sun-ripened fruit.
The five original SKYY Infusions, Citrus, Cherry, Passion Fruit,
Raspberry and Grape, were submitted for taste testing versus their
competition to the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) in Chicago. In
a clean sweep, SKYY Infusions topped every major flavored vodka in
their respective categories. This is completely unprecedented: in
BTI history, no company has ever had their entire product line
place at the top in every category entered.
The entire SKYY Infusions collection can be enjoyed on the
rocks, or with club soda, lemon-lime soda or in a myriad of other
delicious, sophisticated cocktails. Learn more at
