It’s what’s inside that counts.

De-vo-tion Pronunciation [di-voh-shuhn] -noun Commitment Dedication and Determination

Devotion Vodka speaks to the masses. Its name “Devotion” shares many of the same attributes of the world’s greatest athletes and success stories: commitment, drive and success. The uniqueness of Devotion’s proprietary solution will distinguish the spirit from its competition. The initial design for the bottle will stand out while on the shelf. It is currently anticipated that the bottle will be tall and strong combined with bold, contemporary packaging.

The Company envisions “Devotion Vodka” inscribed in unique bold red font, with frosted wings on a clear background. The cap is also intended to be an eye catching red with a Devotion Spirits logo stamped on the top.The protein used in the Devotion Vodka blend is PeptoPro® and casein, PeptoPro® , which was developed by DSM Food Specialties with the Dutch Olympic Committee is a recovery ingredient for fast muscle refueling. The target was to give the Dutch Olympic athletes a competitive advantage at the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004. PeptoPro® is a casein hydrolysate (a protein cut into fragments), which is the same protein found in dairy products. PeptoPro® officially tested free and free of doping substances, and won the Health Ingredient Europe Award for the best health ingredient innovation in 2004.

Normal protein is a polypeptide with up to thousands of units of amino acids. Devotion’s proprietary solution contains only short chain peptides (average length is less than 4 amino acids) which are water soluble.The vodka used for making Devotion is triple distilled from corn and is free of congeners (methanol, aldehydes and amyl alcohols). Generally, the spirits with high congener content add to “hangover” symptoms. Devotion Vodka will be 80 proof, or 40% alcohol by volume.In order to develop a recipe that would embody his vision, Mr. Adelman turned to Frank Lin Distillery chemist, Dier Singh, and award-winning spirits chemist, Dr. Win Adler.
Devotion’s proprietary solution was selected by Mr. Singh for the following reasons:• Solubility: easily dissolves into vodka.

• Clarity: Once the powder has dissolved into the vodka, the vodka remains clear.
• Taste: Unlike many protein additives, the taste is barely discernible and actually lessens the “bite” in the vodka, resulting in a smoother taste.
• Feel: The solubility creates a smooth texture in Devotion Vodka.Refining the blend is Dr. Adler, who has achieved national and worldwide recognition for his spirits. The solution has received approval from the TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau), formula #429, without this approval you cannot sell alcohol in the United States.
The Company will introduce the vodka in a 750 milliliter bottle at a suggested retail price of $29.99. By entering the market at a similar price as Grey Goose, the brand will immediately position itself as an ultra-premium vodka at a premium price. Devotion will ultimately be sold in four sizes, 50 milliliter, 750 milliliter, 1 liter and 1.75 liter bottles with modest price fluctuation by state due to individual state alcohol control laws.

Devotion Vodka holds a trademark, as well as has the patent as the first ever protein-infused spirit. The trademark application for the mark DEVOTION, Serial No. 77/328,883 was filed in November and a Notice of Allowance was issued on July 15, 2008.

A fruit cocktail infusion

Make what I think of

as the BEST of all infusions

a fruit cocktail infusion

www.cocktailsandwines.com

I went to a farmer's market and bought ripe



watermelon, honeydew melon, strawberries,

peaches and kiwi fruit

but you can add any fruit you want.

Peel the kiwi, peaches and melons and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Slice the strawberries. Place all the fruit in a tall glass jar. It's nice if the jar has a spout, but not necessary. Don't pack the fruit, but fill the jar to the top. Pour good-quality vodka to the top of the jar. Screw the lid on tightly, give it a good shake and store in a dark place. Check your infusion 24 hours later and every 24 hours after that, tasting it until it reaches the flavor you desire. Give it a good shake every day, too.

I infused my fruit cocktail vodka for 48 hours - I couldn't wait any longer. If your jar has a spout, you can simply pour your vodka from it. I strained mine through a kitchen strainer. It wasn't entirely clear but that didn't bother me. For clear vodka, strain it through a double layer of cheesecloth.

The vodka drew out the color of the watermelon and strawberry and ended up a pretty pale pink. I poured it over ice in a shaker, then drank it straight. It was fresh, fruity, slightly sweet with a dominant flavor of the watermelon. You can store the leftover vodka in the refrigerator or the freezer to preserve the freshness.
