Stirrings Introduces First Blood Orange Martini Mixer and Rimmer Garnish

FALL RIVER, MASS. — Stirrings, the nation’s leading innovative cocktail brand, is revamping fall and holiday martinis with the introduction of their new Limited Edition Blood Orange Martini Mixer and Rimmer Garnish.

Packaged with festive metallic labels, these limited edition products are perfect for all fall and winter gift and entertaining occasions. The Blood Orange Martini Mixer creates the ultimate cocktail experience with its distinctly bold and vibrant sweet-tart citrus flavor, and can be used to create consistently brilliant blood orange cosmos, “spooky” blood orange daiquiris and sophisticated blood orange champagne cocktails.

Originally from Sicily, blood oranges have recently gained immense popularity in the United States, making blood orange one of the holiday season’s most on-trend flavors. Blood oranges are a hybrid of ancient origin, most likely between the pomelo and the tangerine, giving them their unusual color and unique sweet-tart flavor.

Stirrings’ Blood Orange Martini Mixer is as versatile as it is unique. Made with all-natural real Californian Blood Orange juice, Key Lime juice and cane sugar, the mixer complements an array of spirits such as vodka, rum, tequila, bourbon, sparkling wine and gin to create a selection of delicious concoctions – perfect for any palate and all occasions. The Blood Orange Rimmer Garnish is a puckery sweet blend of blood orange, cane sugar and dried orange peel and is the only garnish on the market specifically created to complement a blood orange martini.

As with all of Stirrings’ products, the new Blood Orange Martini Mixer and Rimmer Garnish highlight the company’s philosophy that “better ingredients make simply better cocktails.” Stirrings’ Blood Orange Martini Mixer and Rimmer are made with all-natural, real Californian Blood Orange juice, cane sugar and triple-filtered water. Stirrings’ Blood Orange Martini Mixer and Rimmer Garnish will be available for purchase in September 2008 and will retail for $10 and $5, respectively, on Stirrings.com and through specialty retailers nationwide.
