New Products & Packaging x Alizé, the passion fruit liqueur imported by Kobrand from France, has added Alizé COCO to its line of vodka-based passion-fruit liqueurs (now numbering seven flavors). A com- bination of natural coconut and passion fruit, Alizé COCO is made from fresh and natural ingredients that deliver a slightly sweet finish, the company says. Alizé COCO can be enjoyed as an ingredient in a wide range of cocktails, or on the rocks. Alizé COCO is 20% ABV with a suggested retail of $19.99 for 750 ml and $24.99 for 1 liter and will be available at mass market and liquor stores nationwide beginning in June. x With the tremendous success of its line of pre-mixed Margarita, Sangria and White Cranberry Cosmo, Skinnygirl Cocktails has become one of the fastest-growing brands in the spirits industry. Now, it has launched three additions to the Skinnygirl portfolio: Skinnygirl, The Wine Collection; Skinnygirl Vodka with Natural Flavors; and Skinnygirl Piña Colada. Skinnygirl, The Wine Collection includes a California White Blend, a California Red Blend and a California Rosé, each com- prising 100 calories per 5 oz. serving, with a suggested retail price of $14.99. Skinnygirl Vodka with Natural Flavors includes a line of four lower-calorie, naturally flavored vodkas: Bare Naked, Tangerine, Island Coconut and Cucumber. The vodkas have a suggested retail of $21.99. And Skinnygirl Piña Colada boasts under 100 calories per 4 oz. serving. Its suggested retail is $14.99. x Following a French introduction earli- er this year, Pernod Ricard has launched its Aberlour 12 Year Old Non Chill Filtered expression in the U.S. The 48% ABV whisky is non chill filtered giving the mouth-feel increased body, while retaining the distinctive characteristics of Aberlour, derived from its double maturation in sherry butts and bourbon casks, accord- ing to the company. Arberlour 12 Year Old Non Chill Filtered is available for a suggested retail price of $59.99 for a 750 ml bottle. x Trinchero Family Estates has debuted the 2010 Ménage à Trois Pinot Grigio. The popular brand, which initially marketed Red, White and Rosé blends, recently also came out with a Chardonnay and a Moscato. Now, they are adding to the line with the 2010 Pinot Grigio, which is cold- fermented in steel tanks, avoiding mal- olactic fermentation, resulting in a wine highlighting tropical fruit aromas, rich fruit flavors and balanced acidity. Suggested retail is $9.99. Beverage Dynamics • www.beveragedynamics.com • May/June 2012 • 49
