Why Ketel One Has Placed Such A Big Bet On The Martini
Ketel One has placed a big bet on marketing activations around the martini, including an event held ... More at The Polo Bar restaurant last year in New York City. Ketel One's big bet on the martini isn't just for National Martini Day on June 19. The Dutch vodka brand says it's all-in on the martini all year round. 'When that glass comes out, everyone thinks differently; there's an expectation that that person has a little bit more knowledge when it comes to cocktails,' Ryan Hughes, brand director at Ketel One, tells me during a virtual interview. 'That triangular-shaped glass has the opportunity to evoke a lot of emotions.' Over the past year, Ketel One's martini-focused campaigns have included a holiday campaign with actor Patrick Schwarzenegger and a second campaign with the White Lotus star that highlighted a vesper martini that blends Ketel One with Tanqueray gin and took inspiration from the hit HBO TV show. Most recently, Ketel One is offering a sweepstakes giveaway for three Dorsia memberships, partnering with the members-only platform that raised $50.4 million in seed and Series A funding earlier this year and helps members get tables at the restaurant hot spots that are the most difficult to book. Other recent activations have included influencer and media events at New York City restaurants The Polo Bar and Dante, as well as an espresso martini machine that can make cocktails in around 20 seconds for bars and restaurants. The consumers that Ketel One says it is targeting with these marketing campaigns are cocktail enthusiasts who tend to be older, more likely to live in a city and come from a higher income household. 'You need someone who's going to want to get away from a vodka soda and say, 'You know what, it's time for me to have a martini,'' says Hughes. Ketel One's martini marketing is also a nod to the brand's heritage. Ketel One was founded in 1983 by Carel Nolet Sr., part of a Holland family that has been distilling alcohol since 1691 and still retains 50% ownership of the brand after selling the other half to liquor giant Diageo for $900 million in 2008. His sons, Bob and Carl Nolet Jr., remain actively involved in managing the business. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 19: Patrick Schwarzenegger attends Ketel One Family Made Vodka ...

(Photo byfor Ketel One Family Made Vodka) Hughes credits Nolet Sr. for the brand's strong association with the martini. When he came to the U.S., he felt that no vodka he tried was able to shine in any of the cocktails he tried. 'And so when they created that vodka, it was always about creating unforgettable cocktail experiences,' says Hughes. Rival vodka brands have increasingly been placing bets on the martini, which is a popular drink order at the bar, ranging from the espresso martini to even mini variations. Many have the campaigns have starred celebrities, including a spot that debuted just last week from Grey Goose featuring Oscar-winning actress Zoe Zoe Saldaña, Tito's Handmade Vodka spot with TV personality and entrepreneur Martha Stewart around Dry January and last year's campaign by Pernod Ricard's Absolut vodka with 'Espresso' singer Sabrina Carpenter. 'We've created a leadership gap and everyone is noticing that,' says Hughes. 'They're now nipping at our heels.' Efforts to reinforce Ketel One's legacy association with the martini have paid off, according to the brand, which claims it has reached its highest level of U.S. household penetration in the last five years, citing data from market researcher Numerator. Ketel One also claims to have gained vodka market share for 105 consecutive weeks through May 24, citing data analysis from Nielsen and the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association. Hughes says the martini's versatility can also help lure in new drinkers, those that may prefer the citrus that comes from a lemon drop or coffee in an espresso martini. Other drinks that Ketel One have recently promoted include a peppermint espresso martini and a White Lotus inspired Thai chili espresso martini. He says there's further experimentation around botanicals, cucumbers and other unique flavors that Ketel One keeps a close eye on. 'Vodka is so versatile,' says Hughes. 'It has this blank canvas for people to be able to play with.'

Johnnie Walker owner Diageo teases selloffs amid tariff impact
This story was originally published on Food Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Food Dive newsletter. Guinness and Johnnie Walker owner Diageo is weighing potential large selloffs as it expects tariffs to spark a $150 million loss. Diageo CFO Nick Jhangiani said on the company's earnings call Monday that the Guinness owner is planning 'substantial changes' to its portfolio that would be 'beyond the usual smaller brand disposals' the company has done over the past three years. In January, Diageo denied reports that it intends to sell Guinness or its stake in Moët Hennessy, the luxury spirits division of LVMH. Close to half of Diageo's net sales in the U.S. are derived from imported spirits produced in Mexico and Canada, with the 'vast majority' coming from tequila. Diageo owns a variety of prominent spirits brands produced outside the U.S., making it vulnerable to President Donald Trump's tariff policy. Imports from Europe are subject to a 10% universal tax, raising costs for alcohol producers as they already struggle with declining demand. Guinness and Bailey's are produced in Ireland; Johnnie Walker hails from scotch capital Scotland; Crown Royal whiskey is from Canada; Ketel One vodka is produced in the Netherlands; and Don Julio and Casamigos tequila are made in Mexico. By potentially selling off one of its flagship brands, Diageo could offset losses it expects to incur if tariffs remain in place. In response to an investor question, Jhangiani was careful not to reveal which brands could be sold. 'With any kind of M&A or disposals transactions, you could get certain things agreed and announced, but timing of transaction closure and cash coming in are very much dependent on a number of factors,' Jhangiani said. Diageo CEO Debra Crew told investors its 6.2% organic net sales growth in North America last quarter was driven by a 'pull-forward of imports to distributors ahead of potential tariffs.' According to Crew, U.S. consumer sentiment dipped substantially in February and March as people cut back their overall spending amid economic uncertainty. But these consumers are 'not so much down-trading' to less expensive spirits, she said. The company is focusing on smaller bottles of its spirits in a bid to win consumers back. 'They want premium products, but their household cash is trapped. So by offering a smaller size of premium products, we are finding that that is working for us in many markets, including the U.S.,' Crew said. Diageo has made portfolio tweaks over the past year as it aims to secure growth through more expensive spirits. It's also building out its U.S. manufacturing arm, investing $415 million in an alcohol facility in Alabama. Last year, the alcohol giant created Diageo Luxury Group, a business division focused on brands that sell products over $100, like Johnnie Walker and Brora scotch. More recently, the company cut ties with former Cîroc Ultra-Premium Vodka spokesman Sean 'Diddy" Combs, trading its ownership of Cîroc for a majority stake in LeBron James-backed Lobos 1707 Tequila.
