Luxardo has two more sambuca varieties to launch into the off-trade, along with plans to boost its promotional activity for 2006.
The 38% abv aniseed-based drink will now be available in cranberry and cinnamon, both priced in line with its other variants such as the black sambuca, Luxardo Passione Nera (£10-12.99 for 70cl).
Passione Rossa is a red Italian cranberry liqueur based on sambuca, while Luxardo Passione Ambra is a brown-coloured liqueur with a hint of cinnamon. Catherine Rigby, Luxardo’s brand manager at distributor Cellar Trends, said: “Both are set to inspire a whole new wave of creative cocktails and add colour, sophisticated taste and Italian style.”
The brand will also feature in consumer promotional activity and initiatives next year, focusing on its popularity as a cocktail ingredient as well as a traditional Italian after-dinner tipple. Off-trade consumer promotions next year include competitions to win a holiday to Venice.
