TORONTO, May 15, 2017 /CNW/ - Just in time for National
Caesar Day on May 18th, iconic Canadian vodka brand
Polar Ice vodka is announcing a national partnership with
French's™ Not Your Ordinary Caesar™ Original Cocktail
Mix. Both products are proudly crafted and bottled in
Canada – resulting in a truly
Canadian Caesar cocktail!
The Caesar – a cocktail widely known for its sweet, savoury,
sour and salty unique flavour – was invented in 1969 by a Canadian
bartender. French's™ Caesar Original Cocktail
Mix stays true to its Canadian roots by supporting local
sources and local manufacturing. It is made with 100% Canadian
tomatoes and free from glucose-fructose (high-fructose corn syrup)
with no artificial flavours or colours.
"Polar Ice vodka and French's Caesar Original Cocktail
Mix are both proudly produced, crafted, and bottled in
Canada", says Kim Creighton, White Spirits Brand Manager,
Corby Spirit and Wine. Polar Ice
vodka is owned by Corby Spirit and Wine Ltd., and produced in
Windsor, Ontario at the Hiram
Walker & Sons distillery. "This is a truly Canadian partnership
and an exciting way for consumers to celebrate National Caesar
Day."
For a limited time across Canada, consumers will receive a free 1.89 L
