“I am excited to introduce CÎROC Summer Watermelon as our newest flavor innovation, right in time for the summer,” said Sean “Diddy” Combs. “We wanted to bring something fun, and refreshing tasting to the table this season. With this spirit we aimed to capture the essence of summer and bottled it. CÎROC has a reputation for delivering the most successful flavor innovations and we aim to do this again with Summer Watermelon.” To create the summer blend, Sean “Diddy” Combs tapped long-time friend and award-winning producer DJ Khaled. The pair worked in partnership with Diageo to identify the proper flavor profile, liquid and taste appeal. The result is CÎROC Summer Watermelon – a product that is born from summer and bred for sunshine and only available for a limited time.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, DJ Khaled and the Makers of CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka proudly unveil CÎROC Limited Edition Summer Watermelon, the newest addition to the successful flavor portfolio. CÎROC Summer Watermelon is a rich tasting spirit made with vodka five times distilled from fine French grapes, finished in a tailor-made copper pot still in Southern France. The vodka is masterfully infused with a distinctive blend of Watermelon and other natural flavors, resulting in a delectably juicy fresh taste accented by sweetness and zest that carries into a smooth finish. The liquid is packaged in a luxurious and sultry red and white bottle with sleek matte red lettering, commemorating a fiery hot summer celebration. CÎROC Summer Watermelon can be enjoyed on the rocks or mixed with club soda or a variety of fresh ingredients such as pineapple juice, cranberry juice, lemonade, and lime.
“I love working with Puff because I know that he puts 100% into everything that he does. He always hustles to make sure that it’s the best product,” said DJ Khaled. “We have the same work ethic and values, so working together to create this limited-edition special flavor to help kick off the summer was key! Working hard also means celebrating your success, and CÎROC Summer Watermelon was designed specifically for celebration. The summer season is all about being around those you love and celebrating your wins!”
The launch weekend will set into motion the CÎROC Summer House, a series of nationwide events from New York to Miami including pool parties, rooftop brunches and tastings in top markets across the country. Guests in attendance will be invited into the world of watermelon for custom experiences all summer long. CÎROC will also host CÎROC Summer Houses at top music festivals across the country. To ensure attendees celebrate responsibly, watermelon-themed bicycles will be used to help transport attendees to and from events.
This week the Makers of CÎROC also launch a new campaign with music from award-winning, Reggaeton and Latin trap singer, Ozuna. The spot will run through August on select digital outlets.
