SKYY® Vodka is giving a crisp, cranberry kick to its line of infused vodkas just in time to make spirits brighter this holiday season.
To create this infusion cranberries, grown in the heart of “Cranberry Country” in Massachusetts, are wet harvested at the peak of flavor across 200 fog-filled acres of bogs. Their fruit essence is extracted, then infused into SKYY’s premium distilled vodka to create a real, true-to-fruit flavor sure to help spread holiday cheer to all.
“A vodka cranberry or a vodka cranberry with a splash of soda are two of the most popular cocktails ordered by consumers in the US today. SKYY Infusions Coastal Cranberry easily recreates that same experience at the bar without the calories of cranberry juice,” says Umberto Luchini, Vice President of Marketing at Campari America. “While sugar-sweet confectionary flavored vodkas have seen a sharp decline in sales lately, we have seen continued growth with our true-to-fruit infusions made with natural ingredients. It is clear that consumers and bartenders alike are looking for more authentic, fresh fruit flavors in their cocktails.”
