Dewey Crush Introduces New Skinny Orange Crush

This delicious spirit-based cocktail is blended with Vodka & Triple Sec, Lemon-Lime Soda, and all natural, freshly crushed orange juice. Made with the same ingredients beloved by Dewey Crush fans already, Skinny cans are lower in calories (130 to be exact), lower in sugar, and contain 4.5% alcohol, which makes for an ideally blended & balanced cocktail to sip on as we head into the busy holiday season.

Dewey Crush’s flavor-filled lineup includes Lemon, Grapefruit, Watermelon.

Whether its Thanksgiving or Christmas, Dewey Crush is available DTC in 32 states including California and in select stores along the East Coast.

About Dewey Crush

“Those legendary days spent hanging out on the beach with your crew, or taking in some live music at the bars. And of course, those epic nights spent reveling with friends at The Starboard – the source of our inspiration. When the concept of Dewey Crush was just a twinkle in our eye, it was the vibe, atmosphere, and energy of The Starboard that gave us the motivation to fully hatch our canned cocktail plan.

We wanted to make something that captured the essence of East Coast summers. Something that you could take home that’d spark an amazing memory from an unforgettable summer. A drink that you could share with friends and family to make new moments.
Ever wanted to bottle a moment? Well, we did the next best thing and canned it. So you can enjoy the taste of summer wherever you are.”

Konbi

Dessert is just as important as the main course, and anyone who tells you otherwise is probably on a diet. Bring something to Thanksgiving dinner that will end the feast with a bang!

A powerful new collaboration, LA’s ever-popular Konbi and Bay Area-based artisanal Japanese inspired chocolatier Deux Cranes are teaming up for the month of November. The two collaborated to create a Hōjicha Caramel Chocolate Bar. The one-of-a-kind bar inspired by Konbi’s iconic hōjicha latte, which features beautiful tea from Kettl and creates a rich, deeply aromatic roasted green tea flavor profile. Deux Cranes Owner and Chocolatier Michiko Marron-Kibbey worked with Konbi Owners Nick Montgomery and Akira Akuto to draw on the hōjicha latte’s palate while adding caramel notes throughout the bar, creating a rich, crunchy and cocoa-intensive experience to be savored.

The bar retails for $15 and is sold at Konbi as well as at the Deux Cranes storefront in Los Gatos, CA. It can also be purchased online at www.deuxcranes.com.  Additionally, Deux Cranes will be popping up outside the new Konbi location in Culver City this Saturday, November 12th from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. sampling the limited edition bars. Purchase a few and be the dessert hero no one knew they needed!
