FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHARLESTON, SC (June 9, 2008) – After three weeks on the shelves, locally-produced Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka became the number one selling flavored vodka in South Carolina, surpassing the ever-popular Van Gogh Espresso Vodka and all other flavored vodkas.
Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka is the second product created by Firefly. The vodka is made with five-time distilled muscadine grapes and infused with American tea from the Charleston Tea Plantation, located on Wadmalaw Island in South Carolina, which gives the vodka a sweet flavor and fresh taste. The initial efforts of introducing the product to Charlestonians garnered such a devout following that marked an impending success for the product when it was released statewide.
“We’re a company based in the South and everyone in the South loves sweet tea. We were thrilled that Firefly Sweet Tea met our expectations and became the number one selling flavored vodka in such a short time frame,” said co-owner Jim Irvin.
Additionally, Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka has crossed Southern boundaries and has developed a following nationally. The company is currently distributing to various states all over the country.
