Rapper, songwriter, and actress Kimberly Jones, better known by her stage name Lil’ Kim is the latest celebrity to join the alcohol endorsement game. Lil’ Kim and Three Olives vodka have teamed up to launch a new grape flavored liquor simply titled Three-O Purple. She has been chosen as the spokesperson and face of the new ad campaign titled “What’s Your O Face?”. For those familiar with the brand, they are known for their innovative collection of flavored vodkas which currently already includes grape. So what’s the difference between the “Grape” line and the new “Purple” line you ask? Here is what Three Olives had to say:
“Three-O Purple is a dynamic blend of imported English Vodka and the wildly juicy taste of frozen crushed grapes. The launch of Purple will also mark a change in appearance for the brand, with a 360° packaging design, displaying lively purple stripes in a variety of shades around the frosted bottle. The vodka itself will also take on a purple hue, reflecting the vibrant essence of the new flavor.”
Recently, Lil’ Kim was interviewed on how the deal between her and Three olives was struck and had this to say:
“Fortunately enough this opportunity came to me,” she said. “[Three Olives] built the campaign around me, which I thought was really great. That was really awesome. I was amazed they even thought of me. That was [number] one. A lot of times my management finds things, but I would say 90% out of 100%, these things come to me. I’m blessed.” She also added, “Since I’m Queen Bee and purple is the color of royalty, I’m thrilled Three Olives has asked me to bring my flavor to the sexy ‘O-Face’ campaign for their new Purple vodka.”
The campaign is currently being rolled out nationally. Below are a few cocktail recipes courtesy of ThreeOlives.com for you to try once you get your hands on a bottle.
