Tito’s Handmade Vodka Named Sponsor For USPA International Cup |
Arianna Delin, Sharon Robb for Grand Champions Polo ClubTito’s Handmade Vodka, based in Austin, Tex., will serve as the signature vodka sponsor for the Nov. 28th USPA International Cup at Grand Champions Polo Club. An International Cup signature drink featuring Tito’s Handmade Vodka and juice will be served in the VIP tent throughout the day of polo and festivities. “We are so excited to partner with Tito’s Handmade Vodka,” said Grand Champions Polo Club president Melissa Ganzi. “Our guests will get a chance to see why it’s the perfect vodka to serve at polo. Great polo, great fans and great vodka is a winning combination.” Tito’s Handmade Vodka, founded and owned by Tito Beveridge, is produced in Austin at Texas’ oldest legal distillery. The company uses old-fashioned pot stills and taste-tests every batch to make sure customers get only the best. It is distilled from corn and is certified gluten-free. America’s original craft vodka is designed to be savored by both spirit connoisseurs and every day drinkers alike. The process, similar to those used to make fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs, requires more skill and effort than others. Tito’s Handmade Vodka is sold throughout South Florida including Wellington, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and Palm Beach. While fans enjoy their signature drink and top-notch food from Ken-Rose Catering, the United States team will put its unbeaten streak on the line against South Africa in the 24-goal championship for the coveted Cup. The U.S. team is led by Nic Roldan and Julio Arellano, the nation’s top-rated players at eight goals, 7-goaler Jeff Hall and top amateur Marc Ganzi. The South Africa roster is Selby Williamson, 5, Chris MacKenzie, 6, Gareth Evans, 6, and team captain Tom de Bruin, 7.
