CHICAGO, May 2, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for summer, United will offer
complimentary Spritz Society premium sparkling cocktails onboard
select flights to Italy. These
new, award-winning cocktails will be available on United's expanded
seasonal flights between Chicago
and Milan starting May 6 and the airline's summer flights between
New York/Newark and Rome starting May 26. Customers can also purchase Spritz
Society cocktails for $2 in the
Chicago O'Hare and Newark United ClubSM locations during
the first month they're available onboard from that airport.
Spritz drinks originated in the Veneto region of Italy in the late 1800's
and have increased in popularity in recent years, with the
Distilled Spirits Council of the United
States reporting a year over year sales increase of 42.3%
for premixed cocktails.
"Spritz cocktails have become synonymous with summer and offer a
taste of Europe. Given the drink's
origin, we thought what better place to serve them than on board
our flights to Italy," said Luc
Bondar, United Vice President of Marketing & Loyalty and
President of MileagePlus. "Our customers are going to love
everything about these festive cocktails, especially the taste –
one of the reasons we chose Spritz Society is their focus on
quality natural ingredients."
Spritz Society sparkling cocktails are made with just six
ingredients or less in every can and include real white wine from
grapes harvested in California.
Available in four delicious flavors, including Blood Orange,
Pineapple, Lemon and Grapefruit, each 8.4 oz can contains 6% ABV
and 120 calories. During the United limited-time offer, Grapefruit
will be available onboard and both Grapefruit and Blood Orange will
be available in the United Club locations.
"We're excited to work with United to make Spritz Society
available to their customers in select lounges and on two seasonal
Italy routes," said Spritz Society
Founder & CEO Ben Soffer.
"Spritz Society puts a fun twist on the classic Italian cocktail
and is made with real wine, real flavors, and real ingredients –
it's the perfect beverage to enhance the Italian travel experience
with United."
