We did it Brooklyn!!!

The PR Team is delighted to announce that last night, our fourth limited-edition, city-inspired flavor ABSOLUT BROOKLYN, took home the first annual Blog Worthy Award. We beat out Ciroc and Barcardi (the liquor sponsor for the evening) in the best liquor category. What’s unique about these awards is that 100 bloggers and editors nominated brands that they felt were outstanding in each individual category. Once the nominees were chosen, 20 bloggers and editors voted and selected the best in each category. Given our presence within the blogging community for this particular initiative, we believe this demonstrates that our media outreach and social media initiatives this past summer really made an impact in both in the blogosphere and mainstream media!
