Proximo Spirits, Inc., a premium spirits distributor, announced that Three Olives Vodka will revive an old-fashioned classic drink that has stood the test of time. Just in time for summer, Three Olives Root Beer will join the vibrant spectrum of flavors already offered by this rapidly growing premium vodka brand.

Root Beer is about as all-American as the city it originated from, where entrepreneurs in Philadelphia prepared the originally alcoholic drink with a combination of vanilla, cherry tree bark, licorice and sarsaparilla root, nutmeg, anise, and molasses.

“Historically, Root Beer was developed as an alcoholic beverage, so we thought it would be interesting to bring it back to its roots,” said Elwyn Gladstone, Head of Marketing for Proximo. “We are constantly creating ways to reformulate the uninspired flavors of traditional vodka, and we are thrilled to be the first to put the alcohol back into this classic flavor.”

Three Olives’ playful spirit is made evident through their colorful array of flavors including Original, Cherry, Grape, Passion Fruit, Pomegranate, Green Apple, Chocolate, Orange, Berry, Vanilla, Citrus, Raspberry, Watermelon, Mango, and Triple Espresso. With the introduction of the smooth and subtly sweet flavor of Root Beer, Three Olives reminds connoisseurs that drinking should be fun. Perfect for straight sipping or for endless mixing opportunities, Three Olives flavored vodkas hit the mark without overpowering.

Distilled in England, Three Olives is the fastest growing premium imported vodka brand in the U.S., with numerous accolades, including Impact Magazine’s Hot Brand Award, already in their favor. Three Olives Vodka comes highly recommended by prestigious publications such as Wine Enthusiast, Quarterly Review of Wines, Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal, and more. Three Olives was also named the #1 Vodka by Russian Life Magazine, upsetting numerous upscale vodka brands.

Three Olives Root Beer Vodka offers endless unique mixing opportunities to try at home or at the bar. Shake up the evening with a Root Beer Bomb, featuring Three Olives Root Beer Vodka and Red Bull, or reminisce about the good ole days with a Root Beer Floatini made up of Root Beer Vodka, Amaretto, and vanilla ice cream.

In 1857, Lazaro Gallardo, a tavern owner and tequila producer, invented a unique tequila-making process called Seleccion Suave, or Smooth Selection. This unique process blended newly rested tequilas with the smoothest, aged tequila reserves creating the highest quality and best tasting tequila available.

In the late 1800s, Lazaro Gallardo named his tequila Gran Centenario to commemoratethe beginning of a new century and began selling it at his tavern. In 1920, Lazaro's son, Luciano, decided to bottle Gran Centenario. Inspired by the Art Deco style of architecture, he designed a bottle similar to the one we use today.

Additionally, the makers of Gran Centenario still use the Seleccion Suave process when crafting this deluxe tequila.
