Sean “Diddy” Combs is no stranger to hits. As a rapper, entrepreneur and more, his creations have inspired consumers and moved industries. This season brings us his latest hit creation: CÎROC Black Raspberry Ultra Premium Vodka. This limited edition is poised to win over spirits lovers, joining previous CÎROC innovations, like Apple, Mango and Summer Colada, in the pantheon of smash hit vodkas from the CÎROC portfolio.
Black Raspberry promises to deliver a spirit rich in flavor and with the smooth, signature style of CÎROC, five times distilled from fine French grapes and finished in a tailor-made copper pot still in Southern France. According to Diageo, CÎROC Black Raspberry is infused with a distinctive blend of black raspberry essence and other natural flavors. The vodka has a smooth, velvety finish with a unique citrus zest. In addition to the incredible taste, consumers will love the collectible, limited edition packaging. The bottle is black, sultry and sleek, with metallic gold lettering that evokes a winter midnight celebration, perfect for this season. Diageo recommends enjoying this limited-edition liquid on the rocks or mixed with a variety of fresh ingredients such as lime, mint, or chamoy.
"CÎROC always looks to be innovative,” said Sean “Diddy” Combs, Chairman of Combs Enterprises, in a recent statement. “One of the strengths of our business is introducing new flavors. Welcoming Black Raspberry into our portfolio made sense, as its one if my favorite fruits. Packaged in a new, limited edition, sleek design, CÎROC Black Raspberry will be a drink everyone will want to enjoy and have on display in their bar this season." He added, "we continue to deliver the most successful flavors, and this will be no exception."
