Dutch Barn Vodka has launched its latest flavour innovation, Ginger Spiced. With 25% of profits donated to The Donkey Sanctuary, it’s a drink that not only tastes great but also does good.
Made with natural ingredients, Dutch Barn Ginger Spiced Vodka (38% ABV) is currently available exclusively at DutchBarn.com, priced at £32 for a 70 cl bottle. Designed to make bar-quality cocktails with zero faff, their signature serve - The Lazy Donkey - is a spicy and easy-to-make take on the classic Mule.
Chris Fraser, Founder and CEO of Ellers Farm Distillery (the home of Dutch Barn) said, “We’re delighted to support the phenomenal care The Donkey Sanctuary provides for these hardworking, incredible animals. Like so many people, we love great cocktails, but everyone is just so exhausted these days. With Ginger Spiced, we’ve taken all the effort out. The ‘Lazy Donkey’ serve is perfect for people who just need to sometimes be lazy and to honour our collaboration with The Donkey Sanctuary. All you need to do is simply pour over ice, add ginger beer and some lime if you fancy, sit back and enjoy an amazing cocktail and a laugh with your friends, knowing that every sip is also helping real donkeys.”
Ricky Gervais, co-owner of Ellers Farm, added: “Drinking vodka and saving donkeys at the same time is an irresistible cocktail.”
Marianne Steele, CEO at The Donkey Sanctuary, said, “We’re so excited to be partnering with Dutch Barn Vodka. This playful partnership will help fund vital projects worldwide, improving the lives of donkeys while strengthening the communities that rely on these remarkable animals. We think a better world for donkeys is a better world full stop. We recognised shared values with Ellers Farm from day one and were bowled over by their enthusiasm to help tell that story. And with donkeys known for having a soft spot for ginger and spice, it feels like the perfect fit.”
Dutch Barn Ginger Spiced makes its debut on the same day as the final of the Dutch Barn Spirit of Comedy stand-up competition at London’s Leicester Square Theatre. The nationwide search has seen 400 comedians compete for the chance to open for Ricky Gervais at his Wembley Arena show on 15 November.
The launch of Ginger Spiced reflects Dutch Barn Vodka’s good-humoured approach, combining natural flavour innovation with its commitment to having fun and doing good. From creating drinks that make mixology easier to donating profits to The Donkey Sanctuary, Dutch Barn is showing that vodka can raise a smile and make a difference at the same time.
The ‘Lazy Donkey’ Cocktail
Perfect for lazy people with excellent taste, the Lazy Donkey takes away all the effort, making it easier to enjoy an amazing cocktail and a laugh with your friends, knowing every sip is helping real donkeys. Simply pour 50ml of Ginger Spiced vodka over ice. Top with (Double Tree) Ginger Beer, throw in some lime (if you can be bothered), drink, laugh and help donkeys.
