It’s been about a month since we sold our last bottle of Skinnygirl pre-mixed margaritas. Since our distributors ran out of this item and were unable to replenish their supplies, we have had numerous requests to get it back in stock.
Well, Skinnygirl is back – and all three Eden Prairie Liquor locations have supplies on hand!
So, as Skinnygirl creator Bethenny Frankel would suggest, tonight is the perfect night for a Skinnygirl night in!
Have a great weekend!

Check this out…
Through the Give a Veteran a Piece of the High Life program, Miller is donating 10 cents for every High Life bottle cap or pull tab collected to the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America!
Donations will be comprised of a cash contribution as well as high life experiences for returning veterans including sporting events, concert tickets, and fishing and hunting trips. With a maximum value of $1,000,000, this program has a chance to greatly benefit returning veterans.
Each Eden Prairie Liquor location now has a container in which we are collecting caps and pull tabs until Sept. 30.
Such an easy way to thank our Veterans for their service.
Cheers!

This unique blend is back in the market!
About a year ago the mold used to make the glass container broke. The industry was told it would cost about 1 million dollars to create a new one. So the general assumption was, “I guess these guys are out of business.” But, my vendor called last week and said “Mississippi Mud is in our warehouse, can I ship a case?”
So, it’s back!
This product is unique in a couple of ways. First, the package is a little brown jug, carrying handle and all. The Gopher Football Team can’t seem to bring the “little brown jug” home, but now you can. Second, it’s the only Porter & Pilsner blended beer, and is only available in a one quart bottle.
For all of you who loved this stuff and had to find something else to quench the thirst, and those of you looking to try something unique, come on in and pick up a “the little brown jug” for the weekend!
Beers to ya!

Eden Prairie Liquor on 78th Street (near Kowalski’s) is excited to offer Finnish Line, Finland’s Long Drink!
What is a Long Drink?
Well, the long drink is new to America, but the people of Finland and broader Scandinavia have enjoyed this deliciously unique liquid for years. Developed in 1952 for the Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, the Long Drink was not only the toast of the Games, but it became a fast favorite among the Finnish.
What makes the long drink special is the smooth but crisp, relaxing by refreshing blend of juniper and citrus. It really tastes different than other beverages you may have tried!
Sound intriguing?
Good news, it’s Tuesday and we’ll be sampling Finnish Line for our Tuesday Tasting event from 4-7 p.m. at the 78th Street location (near Kowalski’s).
Stop in for a taste of something new!

Available today at all three Eden Prairie Liquor locations…
Summit Brewing Company’s
Unchained Series 04: Belgian Style Golden Ale
In the words of Brewer Eric Harper, this beer is:
A note from me: Be careful, this beer contains 8.6% Alcohol by volume. That’s basically double most beers.
Available Friday, July 23 at all three Eden Prairie Liquor locations…
Surly Brewing Company’s
Hell Lager
According to the folks at Surly, this beer is:
Finally, a Surly beer my German mother will drink. She says this one tastes like a bier from back home. Not unlike a Zwickel Bier from Germany, Hell is our filtered and fermented with lager yeast, American hops takes a back seat to the Pils malt sweetness and fresh bread aroma. The color is well… hell (Deutsch for light). It’s fiendishly drinkable, and you don’t have to sell your soul to get another.
A note from me: This delicious lager is only available for a short time and only comes in a 4-pack of 16oz cans. I can’t get enough of this beer. On a hot summer evening this lager is the perfect thirst quencher, in my opinion of course.
Both of these products are produced here locally in the twin cities, Summit in St. Paul and Surly in Brooklyn Center. How great is that?
Cheers!

The Skinnygirl Margarita product recently arrived in our stores and last Friday, before I left for home, I purchased bottle. I have 2 adult daughters who love Margaritas. I think they have tried most of the ready to drink Margaritas already on the market as well as some of the local Mexican Restaurants Margaritas around town. Anyway, I got a big thumbs up from both of them!
Skinnygirl is made with all natural ingredients and 100% Blue Agave Tequila. Because real Tequila is used as a base this product sells for a bit more than most premade margaritas. Most premixed cocktails use a malt-based alcohol to start, keeping their cost down, and I think keeping the taste down too.
Here are the ingredients in a Skinnygirl Margarita:
And here’s a video of Skinnygirl creator Bethenny Frankel demonstrating how to make a Skinnygirl Margarita…
But, with this great new product, all you have to do is pour the Skinnygirl Margarita mix over a glass of ice and garnish with a lime wedge.
This cocktail got its name because in 1.5 fluid ounces there are only 37.5 calories and 1.43 grams of carbohydrates. Plus the package is stunning. Hope you’ll stop in and pick up a bottle, and of course, please enjoy it in moderation.
Thanks, I’ll see you soon!
