Cheers! Colonial Candle Introduces Exclusive Colonial Cocktails Collection

Imagine sitting poolside with a strawberry daiquiri or piña colada in the middle of the workday. Or hanging out with friends in a trendy local hot spot with a pint of your favorite ale or a cool gin and tonic. Now you can turn any hour into happy hour with Colonial Candle’s exclusive new Colonial Cocktails collection of fragrant candles. The national brand leader in premium candles and accessories, Colonial Candle introduces seven cocktail- inspired fragrances to celebrate good times at home, the office or anywhere whenever the mood strikes. Each candle also features a removable label with a cocktail recipe inspired by the fragrance.

Debuting in Colonial Candle showrooms during winter 2013 markets, the Colonial Cocktails collection will be available for shipping in mid-January 2013. Fragrances include:

 Strawberry Daiquiri: Lounge poolside with a refreshing blend of fresh crushed strawberries and lemon zest with a thin layer of creamy vanilla.

 Piña Colada: Relax in your favorite sunny spot with a delightful blend of sweet pineapple juice, Malibu rum and coconut cream.

 Amber Ale: Grab a brew in a local pub with this intriguing combination of malt liquor and hops with a hint of wood and chocolate.

 Gin & Tonic: An iconic cocktail highlighted by sparkling and effervescent citrus notes of neroli and lemon garnished with a slice of lime.

 Manhattan: Cheers with old friends to the scent of musk, patchouli and oak wrapped in the warmth of vanilla and a hint of intoxicating bourbon.

 Mint Julep: A Kentucky favorite with notes of bourbon, sweet cane sugar and refreshing mint leaves.

 Sweet Tea Vodka: A sweet Southern classic of fresh brewed tea, brown sugar and vanilla vodka topped with iced orange blossom.
