The official Miami launch party for Stoli vodka’s new Stoli HOT & Stoli Sticki flavors. First released in NYC on April 10, 2012, the two flavors are remixes on Pertsovka (Pepper) and Okhotnichya (Honey and Herb), the first flavored vodkas ever commercially produced by Stolichnaya® in 1962, and will now bring its talented new flavours to South Beach.
The official Miami launch party will feature complimentary Stoli Hot & Sticki cocktails, a Hot & Sticki-based mixology competition featuring a variety of Miami’s best bartenders, and a public ping-pong tournament with fabulous prizes courtesy of Chalk and Stoli Vodka.
This spring, Stolichnaya® Premium vodka celebrates 50 years of pioneering the flavored vodka category by introducing Stoli® Hot and Stoli® Sticki™. Remixes on Pertsovka (Pepper) and Okhotnichya (Honey and Herb), the first flavored vodkas ever commercially produced by Stolichnaya® in 1962, Stoli® Hot and Stoli® Sticki™ offer a perfect balance of sweet and heat.
Stoli® Hot offers the warm, fiery sensation of jalapeño peppers found on the bottle’s label and is the only jalapeño flavored vodka with significant mouth-heat. It is spicy on the palate yet has a delicate smoky quality. By contrast, Stoli® Sticki™ is inspired by the candied, warm palate of the finest honey and has the added complexity of discernible floral notes that complement the subtle sweetness of its flavor profile.
“In 1962 Stoli® pioneered the flavored vodka category in the industry launching the first two commercially produced flavors in the marketplace. Today, Stoli® is debuting an original remix on those classic flavors with Hot and Sticki™, which offer a cool, modern interpretation of the first flavors from Stoli® †said Lisa Pfenning, Category Director – Stolichnaya®, William Grant & Sons.
The brand developed unique packaging for the new flavors with a glistening honeycomb adorning the bottle neck and cap of Stoli® Sticki™, and flames that blaze up the side of Stoli® Hot’s bottle neck and cap. On the label, Stoli® Sticki™ features a dipper dripping with golden honey while Stoli® Hot has a label illustrated with crimson and deep green jalapeno peppers. In a departure from the tradition of naming flavors after their taste profile, “Hot†and “Sticki™†are fun and contemporary riffs that represent the mood of each flavor.
“The brand is thrilled to reintroduce pepper and honey flavored vodkas, Hot and Stickiâ„¢. These spirited and timeless remixes are the perfect complement to our existing premium flavored vodka portfolio,†added Val Mendeleev, CEO of SPI Group. “We hope our fans will enjoy these delicious and versatile offerings in a variety of mixed drinks.â€
