Vodka & the Joy of Printing

Vodka & the Joy of Printing

The Belvedere Vodka Dream Team Comp


Some of the best Mixoligists In Newcastle turned out at “As You Like It” to do battle @ the Belvedere Vodka Dream Team Competition  
Competition was fierce and the guy’s created some truly amazing cocktails.

Here is the history bit!!!
Belvedere, the world's first luxury vodka, is authentic and natural, handcrafted the way Polish vodka has been made for over 600 years.

We use Dankowskie Gold Rye along with pure artesian water from our own wells, distilling four times for a perfect balance of purity and character. The unique result is unadulterated and naturally smooth. We think you'll love it but we know you have to try it to believe it.

Our exciting range of fresh fruit-flavoured vodka use only real fruit and a proprietary process of maceration to create amazing, natural flavours. Black Raspberry, Pink Grapefruit, Citrus and Orange -- no other flavoured vodka tastes like this.

Belvedere believes in creativity, excellence and working with the leaders of contemporary culture. It's our past, present, and future and is reflected in our many inventions and collaborations. We're always seeking the new.

History bit over.

It is a great brand and It tastes great (Not being a vodka man, I have added this to my tipple list)
I must say a massive congratulations to all the teams that entered there was a very high standard!

 Massive congratulations to the winners “Team Tokyo”.  The Team went on to the northern finals in Manchester and came second. With Belvedere adopting one of their recipes. That’s a hell of a result for their first competition.
Admittedly they should have won the final but that might be me being bias.

Credit where credit is due.

I must also talk in this blog about one of the best Customer service experiences I have had in a long time.  Having had dealings with a number of printing companies while I have been in business, I had a couple of bad experiences with one particular job.

What made the situation even worse, The “Job” was for one of my best friends and his good wife.
Dilemma time, after waiting a number of weeks listening to different excuses and a serious lack of communication, I stumbled upon (via twitter) a company called TMS Print.

I (quite late at night) sent them a message and got a reply from Ricky. He said he could help me and not to worry! 
It is sometimes a gamble doing business over the internet, especially with something as particular as printing. However I was blown away with the service I received.  

I emailed the image over and got the proof back within no time at all.  It looked fantastic; exactly what I had requested and my friends loved it. From approval to delivery was within a couple of days.  
So I must say a massive thank you to Ricky & Brent from TMS Print.

If you need any printing done they come highly recommended.   

You can find them here TMS Print


Thanks for popping by to read my blog.

Best wishes
