Press Release: Chocolate Liqueur Hits London in Time for Easter 31 March 2006 In time for Easter, Vermeer Dutch Chocolate Cream Liqueur has launched in London.
As the only chocolate liqueur made with real Dutch chocolate, Vermeer Dutch Chocolate Cream Liqueur is unmatched in its pursuit of pure indulgence. Maurice Kanbar, the man behind the renowned SKYY vodka brand, took 4 years to source the very best chocolate to accompany his vision. When he eventually came across a creamery making the finest real Dutch chocolate in the Netherlands, Vermeer was born.
Like the Dutch master for whom it is named, Vermeer blends the highest quality Dutch chocolate, fresh cream and premium vodka to make a luxurious liqueur with a restrained sweetness and the smoothest, richest, purest chocolate flavour of any chocolate liqueur available.
Not only can Vermeer be enjoyed over ice on the rocks, but its versatility is second to none allowing it to be used as the key component in a chocolate martini or added to coffee or hot chocolate. It can also help create new and fantastic sauces for all types of food products and is particularly satisfying over ice-cream. In so many situations Vermeer can lend itself beautifully; after a day on the ski-slopes, at the end of a meal or whilst sitting by the fire.
Vermeer is 34 proof (17% alc./vol.) and can be found in its signature bottle depicting 'The Girl with the Pearl Earring' after the famous painting by Johannes Vermeer and the film starring Scarlett Johansson.
Vermeer is now available in high-end bars, clubs and restaurants such as Blakes Hotel, The Goring Hotel, Zafferano, Nam Long and Ad Lib, where it has already had a thunderous reception. It is also in stock within leading independent off-licences such as Gerry?s of Soho and at retailers such as Partridges of Sloane Square.
The drink, a winner of three gold medals for outstanding taste, has a MRP £14.99 per 700ml bottle and is also available in a 50ml miniature size, ideal for gift baskets and hotel mini-bars.
