Three Olives Vodka Brings Fresh Fruit Flavor to Summer Cocktails with All New Cucumber Lime and Fresh Watermelon Flavored Vodkas

Summer is approaching fast, with opportunities to hang out with friends, host outdoor parties or lounge poolside and nothing complements those warm-weathered gatherings better than the perfect cocktail. In time for summer, Three Olives Vodka introduces Cucumber Lime and Fresh Watermelon flavored vodkas, two fresh and mixable additions to the expansive portfolio from the original premium flavored vodka brand imported from England.

With the growing popularity of cucumber-flavored beverages, fans of Three Olives can go green and add a taste of crisp cucumber and fresh-squeezed lime to their drinks. Watermelon, which is the unofficial fruit of summer and a flavor popping up on drink menus around the country, gets a refreshing twist of tangy citrus in Three Olives Fresh Watermelon. The two new flavored vodkas should be enjoyed with those friends who add fun and flavor to life, and are meant to be mixed up to create something more special than your ordinary cocktail.

The release of the new flavored vodkas coincides with the brand's vibrant new campaign, "Find Otherness," which celebrates those who believe a playful spirit of eccentricity makes life more exciting. Fine-art body painter and performance artist Johannes Sttter brought the mouth-watering flavors to life during an evening of fun, flavorful art in New York City. His eye-bending live body painting, inspired by the fresh taste of Cucumber Lime and Fresh Watermelon, is featured in a video, FIND FLAVOR, which can be viewed at the Three Olives channel on YouTube.

"Color is flavor for the eyes," said Sttter, who re-created his FIND FLAVOR performance during the launch event in Manhattan's SoHo district. "My art stimulates all the senses so viewers can experience a different point of view, which is what attracted me to Three Olives and 'Find Otherness.'"

Now available nationwide, Three Olives Cucumber Lime and Fresh Watermelon Flavored Vodkas are priced at $17.99 per 750 mL. In addition to Cucumber Lime and Fresh Watermelon, the Three Olives portfolio currently includes more than 20 delicious flavors.
