Boozy Tribute To The Stones
A new range of alcoholic beverages is launched in Japan bearing the Stones logo
New York Daily News reports that Suntory Liquors Inc. is to release a trio of new alcoholic drinks on 19 June under the Stones Bar label to mark the formation of the band in London in April 1962. The drinks will bear the iconic rock'n'roll lips and tongue logo.
The new releases will be the Rolling Hop, a "4 percent beer in a bottle or can that utilizes hops infused with citrus to give the drink a refreshing taste, a clean finish and reduced bitterness". It will also have a higher carbon dioxide pressure.
The Rolling Gold drink is a gin-based cocktail that comes in a bottle that is also served under higher carbon dioxide pressure. As well as the lips and tongue, the packaging incorporates gold flames and a zip at the neck of the bottle that is reminiscent of the band's 1971 album Sticky Fingers.
And round out the trio is the Citrus Highball, which is a lemon and lime flavoured highball.
