8 8 8 Toast

Triple Eight Distillery's 4th Annual 8/8 @ 8pm Countdown

Triple Eight Distillery is broadening the tradition of their islandwide 888 Vodka Toast to include restaurants and liquor stores throughout the east coast. 88 establishments will participate this year.

At precisely 8pm ESTD on August 8th drinkers throughout New England will raise their glasses and salute a fine American distillery. Bartenders will hop up on their bars and read an ode to all things Nantucket , especially Triple Eight Vodka.

This year's signature cocktail will be Nantucket Tea, a new creation that is sweeping the island this summer. Start with equal parts Triple Eight Vodka and Triple Eight Orange, fill with Nantucket Nectars Lemonade, a splash of cranberry juice and float a dash of Hurricane Rum. The result is an irresistible cocktail with a Nantucket Red hue and a wonderfully refreshing flavor. Small samples will be passed to patrons just before 8pm on 8/8. When the clock strikes 8 O'clock down the hatch!

To make sure everyone is coordinated official Triple Eight countdown clocks will be placed at select restaurants throughout New England .

Folks all over are encouraged to participate. You don't need a countdown clock or a bar, just a bottle of 888 and some good friends. Last year people called the distillery from as far away as California to let us know they were throwing their own 8/8 @ 8pm party!
Welcome to another edition of ON TAP, the newsletter for friends of Cisco Brewers, Triple Eight Distillery and Nantucket Vineyard. We are gearing up for another great season on Nantucket. We have been busy all winter crafting fine libations for your enjoyment. We have also started construction on our new distillery.

We hope to see you all at the brewery soon and in the mean time go out to your local liquor stores and restaurants and request some of our fine products. Your consumer demand is what has allowed us to continue to grow off-island and broaden our offerings both on Nantucket and throughout New England.

Peace, Love, and 888,
Matt Lambo
