Amarula launches limited-edition 750ml pack for the World Cup. Plus: how to to make the AmaShibobo shooter…

I’m always happy to feature good products and this particular one is just in time for the World Cup. Amarula have launched a limited-edition 750ml pack to show their support for the world’s biggest sporting event, which is being held in South Africa.

AMARULA SHOOTS FOR THE STARS AHEAD OF 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP ™

Two’s company and three’s a crowd, which is exactly what you want when festivity is in the air.  Amarula, known globally as the spirit of Africa, is celebrating the continent’s hosting of the biggest sporting event in the world with a three-in-one soccer shooter, AmaShibobo.  Created to mark the tournament, it is made by mixing equal parts of Amarula Cream with Nachtmusik and Oude Meester Peppermint Liqueur.

Says brand manager Lynette Harris: “Ideally you should use a shot glass. Start by pouring the Nachtmusik, follow with the Oude Meester Peppermint Liqueur and top off with the Amarula to create a beautifully layered drink.  First you will encounter the decadently delicious and creamy fusion of marula fruit and fresh cream, that’s reminiscent of vanilla, citrus and exotic spice.  It will be lifted by fresh, tangy peppermint flavours and rounded off with the rich, smooth taste of chocolate.

“A true mark of hospitality that’s impressive to look at and absolutely sensational on the palate, AmaShibobo makes a great way of toasting the teams and enjoying the World Cup™, regardless of who takes home the trophy.”

In an agreement with FIFA, Amarula is entitled to market a limited-edition 750 ml pack to commemorate South Africa’s hosting of the games.  On sale now, it is available nationwide and retails for around R85 a bottle.

I’m sure the limited-edition Amarula is going to be very popular as everyone gears up for their World Cup get-togethers and parties. It’ll make a great gift for Father’s Day as well. Enjoy it.

Thanks to Amarula and also Megan and René for organising the superb Amarula hamper today. Love the soccer ball shot glasses as well. Thanks guys. Cheers!
