VAN GOGH VODKA LAUNCHES COCKTAILS WITHOUT PREJUDICE PROGRAM

Give a Damn campaign

Van Gogh Vodka is proud to introduce our new Cocktails without Prejudice campaign and its signature cocktail, the Give a Damn Martini.

The new program, will be executed on March 28, 2012, honoring Van Gogh Vodka’s partnership with the Give a Damn Campaign, with a portion of proceeds from on-premise sales of the cocktail benefiting the non-profit organization. A project of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund, the Give a Damn Campaign was launched in 2010 to inspire straight people to “give a damn” about LGBT equality and made an immediate impact with their powerful celebrity public service announcements.

“The Give a Damn Campaign is excited to be a part of Van Gogh Vodka’s Cocktails without Prejudice,” says Cyndi Lauper, co-founder of the Give a Damn Campaign. “The company’s commitment to raising awareness and funds for our shared mission is truly inspiring. It is time for things to change and through this program we will be able to make a real difference in encouraging everyone to give a damn about equality.”

Created by master mixologist Jonathan Pogash, the Give a Damn Martini will be available at over 60 locations across the country. For eachmartini sold, $1 will be donated to the Give a Damn Campaign. A full list of participating locations can be found below:

Introducing Van Gogh Blue Triple Wheat Vodka

Once in a blue moon a vodka this good comes along: Introducing Van Gogh Blue Triple Wheat Vodka

With a carefully curated collection of flavored vodkas to its name, Van Gogh Vodka has crafted a new masterpiece to add to its portfolio.  The new unflavored Van Gogh Blue Triple Wheat Vodka ($29.00/750ml) is the world’s first to be made from three international wheat sources (central France, southern Germany and Zeeland in Holland).

According to second generation Master Distiller Tim Vos, each of these wheat sources brings a unique flavor quality that when combined, offers a lovely neutral flavor full of delicate yet complex nuances.

Blue’s triple-threat formula is smooth with a dry and refined finish and no burn – a taste sure to be appreciated by both vodka enthusiasts and cocktailians.  Whether on the rocks, mixed in your favorite cocktail, or straight in a martini garnished with a blue cheese-stuffed olive for a signature Van Gogh Blue, one sip and you’ll be hooked on this new ultra-premium vodka.
