#ChampagneWishes #CirocPassion @Diddy @Ciroc Sean "Diddy" Combs Unveils CÎROC Passion Recommended by @ManhattanPeachy #PeachyDeegan #WhomYouKnow , His New Signature Flavor That Brings His Spirit to The Love Era

Combs and CÎROC have released over 15 flavor innovations, becoming an industry and cultural leader in the vodka category.

CÎROC Passion is More Than a Flavor; Its bold design reflects an intensity and a frequency you have to experience.

Sean "Diddy" Combs and the makers of CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka invite consumers to "experience the frequency of the LOVE Era" with the launch of CÎROC Passion. The new signature flavor is the first offering in the CÎROC portfolio that delivers more than a distinct taste; its bold design reflects an intensity and a frequency you have to experience. Together, Combs and CÎROC have now released more than 15 flavor innovations, becoming an industry and cultural leader in the vodka category.

Sean “Diddy” Combs Unveils CÎROC Passion, a New Signature Flavor That Brings His Spirit to The Love Era

Directly inspired by Combs' personal philosophy: do something passionately, or don't do it at all, this innovation is his most ambitious passion project to-date. The release of CÎROC Passion is the result of over two years of diligent experimentation and development between Combs and Diageo to perfect the liquid, finetune the bottle design and craft signature cocktails. Combs spearheaded each aspect of the process in collaboration with CÎROC, from leading creative and product design to shaping product packaging and guiding marketing efforts.

"CÎROC Passion is the purest and boldest expression of love, so I wanted to develop a new flavor of CÎROC that embodies my spirit and brings consumers into the frequency," said Sean "Diddy" Combs. "To be the best, you have to be fearless and follow that fire within you; that's why we have been leaders in innovation and believe CÎROC will remain the number one brand in the category."

In true Combs style, the CÎROC Passion launch will bring energy and passion to the forefront of culture. Combs and his creative team developed custom CÎROC Passion content featuring Combs' new single "GOTTA MOVE ON" with Bryson Tiller soon to be released. Combs has been teasing the new single since he performed at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards where he served as the Host and Executive Producer. Guests will experience the CÎROC Passion frequency first-hand later this summer during a sensorial event hosted by Combs in his hometown of Harlem, New York.

"CÎROC Passion is dynamic, multi-layered, smooth and brings something unique to our portfolio of flavors," said Edward Pilkington, Chief Marketing & Innovation Officer, Diageo North America. "It continues CÎROC's long standing tradition of setting innovation trends. We are excited for fans to responsibly experience this singular sensation and know they will agree that it was well worth the wait."

Crafted with flavor in mind, CÎROC Passion is distilled from fine French grapes and masterfully infused with an exotic blend inspired by the tropics. Featuring notes of pineapple, mango, citrus, hibiscus, and other natural flavors, it offers a taste experience that's both lusciously unique and elegantly smooth. As a finishing touch, the vodka is encased in a bottle with a distinctive ombre colorway of purple and orange resembling the bright tones of sunset with sleek gold lettering that's sure to stand out on any table. It's the latest iconic offering from the premium spirits brand, which has long been committed to excellence, innovation, celebrating culture and setting trends.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
