SKYY Infusions Blood Orange & Dragon Fruit

A year after the launch of its ginger-infused vodka, American premium label SKYY has launched the latest additions to its all-natural Infusions range with Dragon Fruit and Blood Orange flavors.

Building on the momentum and popularity of dragon fruit juices and flavored waters, SKYY Infusions Dragon Fruit presents an exotic taste and is billed as the first dragon fruit vodka available across the country. Meanwhile SKYY Infusions Blood Orange builds on the popularity of orange-flavored vodkas – third most popular in the category – with a more intense flavor particularly suited to Tiki cocktails.

Both are presently launching coast-to-coast, with volumes and prices targeted at 50ml ($1.99 MSRP), 750ml ($18.49 MSRP) and 1 liter ($26.49 MSRP). They join the existing line-up of Citrus, Cherry, Grape, Raspberry, Passion Fruit, Pineapple and Ginger infused vodkas.

Skyy Vodka Creates Sex and the City 2 Bottle

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Spirits

You can add another name to the promotional credits for Sex and the City 2, but we give them credit for this one – what other movie would have its own official vodka? The return of Carrie and crew will also mark the return of a special edition Skyy bottle lending its cobalt blue imprimatur to "sophisticated cocktail culture around the world."

Meant to return the idea of "cocktail couture" to your evenings out, Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field is cast in the role of spokesperson and bottle designer. She's drawn up the first themed bottle in Skyy's history, and select establishments will carry "limited edition fashion and cocktail accessories" by her hand. It is anyone's guess what those could be, but keeping the Manhattan quartet in mind you'll probably be able to simply refer to them as "those little glamorous things." The partnership will mark the second time you'll be required to wear something labeled 'Manolo' to have a sip of vodka.
