USA brand Claussen, the brand known for its signature refrigerated pickles that pack a superior cold crunch, is teaming up with Spritz Society, the award-winning sparkling wine cocktail company, to create a first-of-its-kind pickle-flavoured cocktail. Founded by media influencers and entrepreneurs Ben Soffer, Claudia Oshry, and Jackie Oshry, the new Spritz Society Pickle by Claussen incorporates the iconic taste of Claussen pickles, marking the first time the 150-year-old brand has entered the beverage space.
When Spritz Society announced a pickle flavour as their 2022 April Fools’ prank, they were surprised by their fans’ immediate positive reaction and demand. As a digitally forward-first brand, Spritz Society focuses on community-led innovation, and just one year later, Spritz Society and Claussen turned this once ‘prank’ into a reality for fans of both brands. The result is a refreshing, crisp, pickle-flavoured sparkling wine cocktail launching in time for summer BBQs and pool parties.
“Claussen is thrilled to enter the beverage space for the first time and bring our dill-icious pickle flavour to a sparkling wine cocktail,” said Lizzy Goodman, Brand Manager of Claussen at the Kraft Heinz Company.
“With pickle being such a crave-able food, we are excited to hear the response from our pickle lovers and think everyone will be pleasantly surprised by the unique, refreshing taste of a pickle-flavoured sparkling wine cocktail.”
Spritz Society sparkling wine cocktails feature real white wine and all-natural fruit flavours and have now been crafted with pickle perfection. Each 8.4 oz. can of Spritz Society Pickle by Claussen has six percent ABV, 120 calories, only five grams of sugar and packs a zippy, tangy taste.
“At Spritz Society, our community is one of the most important elements of the brand, and their input is crucial in everything we do,” said Ben Soffer, Founder and CEO of Spritz Society.
Soffer said that nearly a year after launching this idea as an April Fools’ joke and continuing to get requests for a pickle flavour daily, the company was thrilled to be teaming up with Claussen to bring Pickle to life.
He added that knowing that Claussen also prioritised high-quality and premium ingredients made them the perfect partner for this collaboration.
