Ciroc Introduces Apple-Infused Vodka

30 Oct 2015 --- New York, NY (October 29, 2015) – Sean “Diddy” Combs introduces the world to Cîroc Apple Infused Vodka during his appearance tonight on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” Cîroc Apple is the sixth flavor in the line extension from the makers of Cîroc Ultra Premium. The newest variant joins the best-selling lineup, which includes Cîroc Ultra Premium, Cîroc Pineapple, Cîroc Peach, Cîroc Amaretto, Cîroc Red Berry and Cîroc Coconut.

In honor of the launch, Cîroc has commissioned American performance painter David Garabaldi to share his creative interpretation of the “forbidden fruit” thematic with audiences in New York and Los Angeles. The artist’s masterpieces will be exposed on larger-than-life wallscapes prominently placed in highly trafficked areas during the month of November. The billboards represent the millions of ambitious dreamers around the country who are passionate and committed to what they are made of. These are the individuals who Cîroc Ultra Premium toasts to every day.

In addition to the bicoastal billboard reveal, Sean “Diddy” Combs will host the Emperor’s Ball in New York City to celebrate the launch of Cîroc Apple on October 31st.

“Cîroc has always focused on innovation and celebration. Our flavors remain at the heart of our unprecedented success. The new Cîroc Apple combines one of my favorite flavors with the greatest ultra premium vodka,” said Sean “Diddy” Combs, Chairman of Combs Enterprises. “We have created a liquid that everyone will want to drink, whether mixing it into fall inspired cocktails or enjoying it in its purest form, on the rocks.”

Cîroc Apple boasts a vivid green apple flavor infused with a touch of ripeness and a subtly smooth, crisp finish. The newest variant can be enjoyed shaken and double strained, and also pairs excellently with Ocean Spray® Cranberry Juice Cocktail. The liquid also lends itself well to a variety of twists on more traditional cocktails including the Cîroc Apple Martini, Sangria, Mimosa and Cider. Drawing inspiration from the classic creations, Cîroc Ultra Premium has developed the specialty recipes listed below.
