By: Given Liqueur Award winning GIVEN Liqueur to launch in Texas just in time for Summer cocktail menu’sand backyard barbecues For Release April 15th, 2013 Glazer’s Inc., one of the country’s largest distributors of wine, spirits, and malt beverages has picked up the exclusive rights to distribute GIVEN Liqueur, that will be launched in the Texas market at the end of April 2013, just in time for summer cocktail menus, Cinco De Mayo and Memorial weekend. GIVEN is the world’s first ultra-premium tequila liqueur macerated with limes and lightly sweetened with Sauvignon Blanc grapes All Natural; GIVEN marries authentic Mexican Ultra-Premium Tequila (40%) with the sophistication of French Sauvignon Blanc grapes (60%). The GIVEN Journey crosses continents to create a refreshing liqueur unlike anything in the market. The journey begins in Los Altos de Jalisco Mexico where the tequila is handcrafted from the most coveted blue weber agaves. From there, it crosses the ocean to the historic Cognac region of France. Upon arrival, a 5th generation family-owned distillery gently macerates fresh limes and infuses them in small batches to the tequila. Utilizing a unique artisanal process, ripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes are compressed and allowed to crystallize to lightly sweeten GIVEN thereby, creating a flavorful, refreshing, smooth well balanced liqueur that is fresh and light on its own. Michael Mills, CEO of GIVEN states “We have created a product that can be appealing to adventurous wine, spirits and beer consumers that offers a consistent citrus flavor profile. This is the first in line of product innovations for GIVEN and our vision to create the Bvlgari, Givenchy, Hermes of the spirits business.” GIVEN is one of the most unique and versatile spirits on the market to date. An innovation of a sophisticated liqueur that tastes excellent over ice, shaken as a chilled shot and the versatility to be mixed with any base spirit to provide a tasty and consistent premium cocktail. It works as an efficient ingredient for classic and custom cocktails including the GIVEN Gimlet, premium Margarita, GIVEN & Champagne and even adds a fresh zest to any of your favorite craft beers. The GIVEN Journey extends on to the culinary aspect of the house where its unique citrusy flavor profile compliments multiple starters, entrees and desserts. In 2010 GIVEN won a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition; its own against more than 100 world class new and established liqueurs. Recently GIVEN also scored 90 points/Outstanding from the esteemed Anthony Dias Blue, The Tasting Panel. The Refresher: 2 parts GIVEN, 1 part Gin, 2 fresh cucumber wheel slices, 4 fresh mint leaves.
