SKYY Vodka's signature blue bottle is donning a new festive look this winter, all in the name of the true holiday spirit. SKYY and the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), one of the leading nonprofits dedicated to ending the global AIDS epidemic, are partnering this holiday season to launch the exclusive SKYY Vodka Blue Velvet Limited Edition Bottle. The premium, soft-to-touch bottle is flocked with an intricate, blue velvet pattern, making it a festive gift for consumers who want to give back this holiday.
"amfAR is an incredible organization that contributes greatly to the ongoing battle against AIDS," says Jason Daniel, Brand Director, SKYY Vodka. "We are thrilled to partner with them on the Blue Velvet Limited Edition Bottle which not only showcases SKYY Vodka's dedication to quality, innovation and style, but also our commitment to charitable giving. For holiday parties this year, we hope folks reach for the SKYY Blue Velvet Bottle as an easy and fun way to give back to their communities."
A fashionable twist on the SKYY cobalt blue glass bottle, the Blue Velvet Limited Edition Bottle makes it easy for gift givers to show their true holiday spirit in style, the company says. In honor of the partnership, SKYY has also created two specialty cocktails:
amfAR Holiday Spirit Martini
3 oz. chilled SKYY Vodka

Fill shaker with ice, add SKYY Vodka and a drop of Vermouth. Shake vigorously then pour into a chilled martini glass.
