ARMADA, MI, Mar. 12, 2024 – The teams behind two beloved Michigan beverage brands, Armada-based Blake’s Hard Cider and Petoskey-based Gypsy Spirits, are releasing their second collaboration: Triple Jam Vodka. Tri
ple Jam Vodka is the juicy, jam-packed, berry libation for all your Michigan-made celebrations.
Triple Jam Vodka brings together expertly distilled vodka with the favorite ripe flavors of fresh strawberry, blackberry and raspberry, complemented by a touch of apples. With a berry burst followed by a smooth finish, this lively spirit is a toast to locally-grown and distilled flavors.
Inspired by Blake’s fan-favorite cider Triple Jam, a 6.5% ABV semi-sweet cider made with real berries, and made by the best-selling Michigan-made vodka and gin producers at Gypsy, the newly released Triple Jam Vodka tastes like the juicy berries grown on Blake’s Farm each summer.
“We’re excited to partner with our friends at Gypsy Spirits, to bring the flavors of Triple Jam to Michigan’s cocktail and spirits lovers,” said Andrew Blake, founder of Blake’s Hard Cider. “This vodka pairs our delicious real fruit flavors with their masterful distilling for a uniquely Michigan experience. Gypsy Spirits’ ethos is one of embracing life to its fullest, and that’s always something we can get behind at Blake’s.”
“Having the opportunity to work with a group of people who are so good at what they do and are so passionate about their craft and supporting Michigan, is what makes being in the beverage industry so amazing. Working with Andrew and the Blake’s team is exciting because they helped put Michigan craft beverages on the map,” said Michael Kazanowski, founder of Gypsy Spirits. “After the success of the first launch with Blake’s, Apple Pie Vodka, we are excited to collab again, this time with their famous Triple Jam.”
Triple Jam Vodka is right at home at happy hour, dinner parties with friends, fancy brunch or wherever your celebration takes you.
Enjoy it by itself or craft an easy fruit-forward Triple Berry Gimlet by combining 2 ounces of Triple Jam Vodka with fresh juice from half a lime and half an ounce of simple syrup. Shake well and garnish with a fresh lime. The fresh citrus enhances ripe berry flavors for a bright twist on a classic cocktail.
