Reminiscent of the classic and beloved strawberry-flavored milk, Adult Strawberry Milk combines the taste of ripe strawberries, sweet cream and premium vodka to create a unique taste sensation for discerning adult consumers.

"It's important that we remain dedicated to creating fun memorable flavors that are sure to become classic favorites once again."

Adult Strawberry Milk offers consumers the ease of a pour-and-serve beverage that can be enjoyed simply over ice, as well as the versatility of a delicious and creative addition to cocktails. Rosy pink in appearance with the aroma of strawberry ice cream, Adult Strawberry Milk is the ultimate fresh take on a classic that is "Berry Much like You Remember It™." Adult Beverage Company is the versatile "wherever, whenever, however" spirit brand, but always encourages consumers to drink responsibly.

Adult Strawberry Milk does not require refrigeration and is packaged in Adult Beverage Company's signature, retro-chic glass bottle with a swing-top closure. The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle of Adult Strawberry Milk is $17.99.

To celebrate the launch of Adult Strawberry Milk, the Adult Beverage Company mixologists have created an exclusive series of custom cocktails that highlight Adult Strawberry Milk's flavors and can be enjoyed celebrating a special occasion with friends at home, or as an anytime treat.

Perfect Pint

Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm, settle, breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakably Guinness beer, stout, or draught, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between. Pure beauty. Pure Guinness.

 

A recent trip to the Guinness Brewery in Ireland explains why Guinness never tastes as good as it does in the Emerald Isle.

 

There is six steps for the Guinness Experience or Perfect Pint.

 

Step One: The Glass

Take a dry clean tulip pint glass. The tulip glass is designed to allow the proper flow of nitrogen and CO2.

 

Step Two: The Angle

Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle. Make sure the end of the tap does not touch the glass. If this step is skipped, you will ruin the flow and change the taste of the beer.

 

Step Three: The Pour

Pull the tap all the way down. This releases the perfect amount of gasses and liquid. When the glass is three-fourths of the way full, push the tap back to the off position.

 

Step Four: The Settle

Put the glass on the counter and let it settle. Wait approximately two minutes without touching the glass. You want everything to balance to create a creamy head.

 

Step Five: The Top Up

Now that the glass has settled, hold up to the tap and push the tap away from you. This allows only the flow of Guinness without the gasses. You do not want to further agitate the liquid. Keep pouring until you reach a domed effect. Do not over pour or let spillage.

 

Step Six: The Presentation

Present your perfect pint to your guest or enjoy yourself.
