Tito’s Vodka Turns Dry January into DIY January With Martha Stewart

Tito’s Homemade Vodka splashed into Dry January with its own humorous ad campaign, hoping to prove alcohol brands can still grow brand awareness amid a month primarily dedicated to the sober-curious movement.

Partnering with television personality and home entertaining queen Martha Stewart, the Austin, Texas-based brand transformed Dry January into “DIY January.” The month-long campaign was anchored by a 60-second video starring Stewart that called on those participating in the month-long sober movement to “get crafty” by finding uses for Tito’s in everyday household tasks, such as cleaning mirrors and windows, preserving fresh cut flowers and deodorizing shoes.

“We understand that Tito’s drinkers might choose to opt out of drinking this month to partake in dry January, and we support them in doing that,” said Tito’s VP of brand market- ing Taylor Berry in a press release. “We’ll still be here when February rolls around, but we wanted to offer up some helpful alternate ways to use our vodka until then.”

To complement the video, Tito’s launched a limited-edition collection of DIY January bottle-topper attachments for consumers looking to try out household tasks themselves. The attachment set includes a deodorizer for spritzing musty fabrics, a “flavorizer” for making penne alla vodka and a “cleanerizer” for cleaning windows and mirrors.

The set of attachments is available online for $10, with all net proceeds donated to a nonprofit group of the consumer’s choice.

Coca-Cola Teams Up With Mark Ronson and Madlib to Launch ‘Recycled Records’

The six-track collection was created to celebrate Sprite, Fresca and Seagram’s shift to clear packaging. In July, The Coca-Cola Company announced the venerable Sprite brand, long known for its green bottle, would transition its plastic PET packaging from green to clear, enabling the bottles to be recycled into a multitude of items.

The Coca-Cola Company teamed up with music legend Mark Ronson and Madlib for its ‘Recycled Records’ campaign, which features an original EP made up of sounds taken from the bottle-to-bottle recycling process.

“The Coca-Cola Company is thrilled to have teamed up with Mark Ronson and Madlib to celebrate our portfolio’s transition from green to clear plastic. This sonic partnership is part of The CocaCola Company’s broader World With-

Proxies Teams Up With Dominique Crenn

Non-alcoholic beverage brand Proxies recently teamed up with Dominique Crenn, chef owner of Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, to launch its newest innovation, Pétanque.

Like the rest of Proxies offerings, Pétanque is made by blending wine grapes, fruits, teas, spices and complex ferments to “capture everything that makes wine a great pairing with food – without the alcohol.” The new offering features tasting notes of riesling, green apple, kiwi, yuzu and juniper.

out Waste goals,” said Coca-Cola North America VP and general manager, sustainability Kurt Ritter in a press release. “We’re excited about the switch because it increases the amount of high-quality, food-grade recycled plastic available in the marketplace and ultimately allows our brands to use more recycled plastic in their packaging.”

Additionally, the company has released a documentary-style short film that points out the parallels between “the heritage and spirit of music sampling” and the closed loop recycling process.

“For my own blend, I wanted to design something for anyone at the table. Craft ing Pétanque was a truly delightful experience,” said Crenn in a statement. “I wanted to capture the culture and diversity of my new home in California, so we explored different flavors, herbs and textural components that I use in the kitchen to express creativity and our community in the glass.”

Founded in 2021, Proxies produces a line of non-alcoholic wine alternatives crafted for “when you want something to drink but you’re not drinking.” The brand’s core offerings include Blanc State, Red Ember, Red Clay and Pink Salt.

According to Crenn, who grew up in Brittany, France, Pétanque was created to pair with her restaurant’s pescatarian menu with an acid profile that stands up to classic French cuisine. The new offering will soon be released to Proxies Club members and select partners, with a percentage of sales from each bottle going to Crenn’s chosen charitable foundation, World Central Kitchen.
