Lovvo Lambrusco
The Restless Dreamers Beverage Co. introduced Lovvo, a new line of semi-sparkling Lambrusco in brightly colored, single-serve cans. Produced by Cantina di Carpi e Sorbara in Emilia-Romagna, Lovvo comes in three varietals: Red, White and Rosé. The brand is geared toward the more adventurous millennial consumer, and its tagline — “One Life, One Lovvo” — refers to the Italian joy of living as well as the brand’s commitment to sustainability, the company says. For instance, the winery is 20% solar-powered, it self-produces nitrogen, and all water used in the cellar is reclaimed and redirected into municipal pipes, it notes. Lovvo is sold in single-expression four-packs for a suggested retail price of $19.99. Imported by Park Street Imports and initially distributed in California, key market roll-out will continue through 2025, it says.

Tip Top’s Mai Tai

This Mai Tai release is the first in a string of rapid cocktail innovation coming to the market from Tip Top in 2024, comprised of both classic and modern classic cocktails, it says. With just four ingredients ― rum, lime, Curaçao, and orgeat ― Tip Top’s Mai Tai is simple yet complex, the company says. Curaçao and fresh lime provide a familiar citrus kick, while the orgeat adds a toasty finish, rounding out the smooth yet punchy cocktail, it notes. Further spotlighting the tropics is Tip Top’s signature rum blend, which features silver, Jamaican pot still, and barrel aged rums that also are found in the brand’s beloved Daiquiri and Jungle Bird cocktails, it adds.

Wakaze’s SummerFall
Wakaze unveiled its new brand with the U.S. launch of SummerFall, a canned sparkling sake, made with locally sourced California rice and enriched by wine fermentation methods. Wakaze Founder Takuma Inagawa has been globally recognized for creating one of the best-selling sakes in France and developed SummerFall to take sake beyond the Japanese restaurant and introduce it to American consumers in an approachable, relaxed format, the company says. Made from white koji and wine cultures, SummerFall is intentionally made to be higher acidity to pair well with Western foods, it notes. Lower ABV than classic sake, sustainably crafted, and free of additives and sulfites, the beverage contains notes of pear, citrus, under ripe raspberry, and Sweet Tarts, it says. Packaged in 8-ounce cans, the 11% ABV SummerFall now is available to purchase by visiting the company’s website.
