LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Modern Spirits announced today the release of its second seasonal flavor, Rose Petal Artisan Vodka. Made with only the petals of three highly aromatic rose varieties that the founders grew in their back yard, Modern Spirits Rose Petal captures the full range of this beloved flower -- from sweet floral to spicy herbal. This vodka is ideal for champagne cocktails and for pairing with desserts and even oysters.
"The ancient Romans fell in love with roses so much that they tried to capture their intoxicating aroma and delicate flavor in sherbets and puddings, and even flavored wines with the fragrant petals," says Melkon Khosrovian, Modern Spirits co founder and vodka maker. "Rose Petal vodka is our nod to their creativity and love for flavor during the season of love and upcoming spring."
Modern Spirits Rose Petal will be available January 1 in most states that carry the company's product line. Suggested retail price for Rose Petal is $24.99 for 375ml bottles and $43.99 for 750ml bottles.
