Expertly crafted with the finest French winter wheat from sustainable farms in Picardy (known as the "bread basket" of France) and blended with pure spring water from Gensac Springs located in the Cognac region of France, GREY GOOSE is known for its unmatched quality. All elements of the GREY GOOSE punch recipes have been designed to embrace and showcase the brand's careful and selective production process. In a cocktail like Punch, where only the highest quality juices, organic local fruits and fresh herbs should be used, GREY GOOSE shines through, allowing the quality of each ingredient to perfectly complement one another.
"Our consumers are always looking for new and exciting ways to enjoy cocktails that reflect exquisite taste and quality, even in the more relaxed and casual style of summer," said Shane M. Graber, VP and Managing Director of GREY GOOSE Vodka. "Punch provides a unique and easy complement to summertime entertaining, without compromising the integrity and sophistication we're consistently known for."
The program kicked off with GREY GOOSE Punch Brunch, a chic French culinary experience hosted by New York City socialites, Daniel and David Koch, at the grand opening of their new hotspot in the Meatpacking District of New York. At the event, guests and local influencers experienced bespoke GREY GOOSE Punch cocktails and were immersed in the sophistication of the GREY GOOSE summer lifestyle. To enable consumers to recreate this occasion at home, GREY GOOSE has produced a series: "How to Make GREY GOOSE PUNCH," available on GreyGoose.com/PUNCH. Continuing through the summer with nationwide events and five short films featuring local chefs, influencers and celebrities, GREY GOOSE will be showcasing the fresh, locally sourced ingredients used in Punch, the inspiration behind the signature recipes and the spirit of each regional location.
In addition, US Bartenders' Guild of America (USBGA) will launch a mixology competition sponsored by GREY GOOSE and Saveur Magazine called: Punch Wars Summer Games. USBGA's events have been designed to creatively engage local bartenders by enabling them to showcase their craft and knowledge of mixology. Leading bartenders from eight different cities will go head-to-head in creating the ultimate vodka Punch using a bevy of locally sourced fruits, spices, garnishes, and herbs. A panel of local food personalities along with a guest celebrity chef will determine who will win the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. The Gold medal winner of each city will advance to the Punch Wars finals to be held in Miami, with the winner receiving national acclaim as Mixology Advisor for Saveur.com and an all-expense paid, specially curated trip to Tales of the Cocktail 2013, courtesy of Tales of the Cocktail, which supports the bartender community through scholarships and education programs.
