Red Eye Louie’s Products

Red Eye Louie’s Vodquila is a blend of vodka and tequila, which is produced by Red Eye Louie’s. The primary ingredients include vodka, 6 times distilled and made from multiple grains, and tequila made from the agave plant. It is bottled at 40% alcohol by volume. (80 Proof)

The three co-founders, Chander, Nina, and Romie Arora created the product in 2011. Headquartered in Alabama, with offices in New York as well, Red Eye Louie’s Vodquila is available in 30 states in the United States as well as the UK, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Egypt, and Alberta, as of March 2017.

Vodquila was created in 2011 when co-founder Nina Arora had where she needed to come up with a new marketable product. She created the initial product at home and tested it first with her father and brother. The three decided they had a marketable product and further developed the recipe and packaging.

The name “Red Eye Louie’s Vodquila” came about when the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau rejected their initial proposal of marketing the product under the simple name “Vodquila”, claiming that the family had created an entirely new product category (vodquila) and therefore needed a more specific brand name for their product.

Laird’s

Laird & Company is a distillery located in the Scobeyville section of Colts Neck Township, New Jersey. Founded by Robert Laird, it is the oldest licensed distillery in the United States and received License No. 1 from the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 1780.

Today, best described as an apple whiskey, Laird’s Applejack is a pure spirit beverage made from a blend of apple brandy and neutral grain spirits. The aged apple brandy base gives Laird’s Applejack a rich, deep flavor and smooth balance while retaining the delicate aroma and flavor of tree-ripened apples from which it is made. Robert Laird descended from one of Monmouth County’s oldest families and served in the Continental Army under George Washington. Washington asked Laird for his recipe for “cyder spirits” before the Revolution. Today, none of the company’s production is located in New Jersey. It obtains all its apples from central Virginia and distills its products in North Garden, Virginia. Distilling at its New Jersey facilities ceased in 1972 and Laird’s only blends, ages, and bottles its products in Scobeyville.

Sangre de Vida

Each bottle pays homage to the rich history of Mexico’s culture and the legacy of crafting excellent tequila.

Casa Caibarí, since 1948, is a producer of exceptional rums and spirits thanks to its fortunate location in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, in the geographical strip 15 degrees north known as the rum strip for being ideal for the cultivation of sugar cane full of sweets and for ende for single distillates.

The Izapa Rum produced here has dressed Mexico in a garb of lights for being recognized among the most outstanding rums in the world. He is a double Silver Medal winner at the 2012 and 2013 International Rum Conference, held in Europe, and champion of the 2013 Rum Renaissance Festival, held in Miami where he won four Gold Medals, 2 of them as the best in their category.

A fundamental component in its formula is its aging in French and American oak barrels very close to the Mayan Archaeological Site called Izapa, from which it acquired its name, enjoying the influence of the energy and mysticism that radiates from this magical place chosen as a Mecca by an of the most dazzling cultures not only of the continent but of humanity: the Mayans

Lazzaroni

Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli SpA is an Italian food company, founded in Monza in 1869, by Paolo Lazzaroni and his sons Pietro and Luigi.

Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli is one of the two food companies that derive from the Lazzaroni family: it was founded in Monza in 1869, by Paolo Lazzaroni and his sons Pietro and Luigi. Paolo was the second son of Carlo Lazzaroni (1774-1835), who had started a confectionery production business in Saronno, which was then carried on by his other son Davide (whose sons later founded D. Lazzaroni & C. ). Paolo had moved to Monza in 1852 (or according to others in 1855 ), initially creating a grocery store and then founding the company, which bought and sold spices, coffee, cured meats, chocolate, sweets, candied fruit, and liqueurs. According to tradition, the recipe for the amaretto liqueur which is sold under the brand “Amaretto Lazzaroni 1851” belongs to this era.

In 1927 the two companies of the Lazzaroni family merged into a single structure, maintaining the two biscuits and liqueurs branches. In 1984 the biscuit branch (precisely D. Lazzaroni & C. ) was sold to the American multinational Campbell’s, while Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli remained in the hands of Paolo Lazzaroni of the same name, who subsequently decided to also undertake confectionery production, creating the “Chiostro di Saronno” brand.

Starting from 2004, Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli was the subject of a long legal battle started by D. Lazzaroni & C., as soon as it began producing amaretti biscuits in Saronno (for which D. Lazzaroni & C. holds the registered trademark ” Amaretti di Saronno “). At a certain point, in 2009, the affair also saw the temporary seizure of Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli’s products, but it finally ended in 2013 with acquittal.
