BROUGHT TO YOU BY SKYY Vodka
Looking for the perfect summer cocktail recipes? Get that refreshing kick you need for your poolside soirée with SKYY Vodka’s innovative new SKYY Infusions Blood Orange – a refreshingly citrusy twist on its premium vodka.
Crafted by a diverse collective of experts including a water sommelier, a chemist, and professional bartender, SKYY Vodka represents the forward-thinking mindset of San Francisco – using water enriched by Pacific Minerals.
Originally launched in 1992, the premium American-made vodka has been evolving with the times to bring the public a drink that is current, fresh and relevant.
A speciality filtration method is what sets the award-winning vodka apart from other brands. Each batch is Quadruple-distilled and triple-filtered through California Limestone and made with water enhanced by minerals, including Pacific minerals sourced directly from the San Francisco Bay Area. This unique process enhances the liquid’s smooth mouthfeel, fresh taste and adds character to any cocktail experience.
SKYY Infusions Blood Orange is a bold and zesty addition to the SKYY Vodka range. There has been a wave of next-generation citrus profiles and with blood orange gaining significant traction over the last few years, the brand saw an opportunity to provide an innovative and robust new taste experience with SKYY Infusions Blood Orange.
