Cruz del Sol TequilaScottsdale, AZ  –  With the introduction of fall, CRUZ del Sol Tequila (CRUZ Tequila) celebrates new beginnings.  The most recent example includes the hosting of an exclusive premier for their award-winning spirit and signature drink at Windows on the Green, the renowned restaurant located at the AAA Five Diamond Phoenician resort in Scottsdale.  With more than 125 distinguished guests in attendance, CRUZ Tequila also reported a staggering 286 percent sales increase for the summer, a successful precursor to the introduction of their premium spirit to a national audience on November 24, 2008.

“The Phoenician and Windows on the Green – which will soon house one of the country’s largest premium tequila programs – reflects the standards of excellence on which our signature tequila brand is built.”  states Joseph Pep Katcher, President of CRUZ Tequila.

Todd A. DeSilva, Director of Beverage at The Phoenician, remarks: "The philosophy behind our luxury collection of spirits is to provide the finest international offerings, creating an authentic cocktail culture that enhances the guest experience.
CRUZ Tequila has been hand-selected as part of this resort-wide program.  A versatile spirit, it is served both cognac-style, and in our signature CRUZ Paloma cocktail."

According to Shawn Long, Vice President of Sales for Republic National Distributing Company’s Arizona Market, "CRUZ has delivered the best results of any Tequila we have introduced during my tenure with Republic.  Sales from July over June showed a 286 percent growth rate.  And that trend has continued as we enter the fall season, which is phenomenal."

“As leaders we learned quickly that building successful businesses can present a surprise or two,” adds Todd Nelson, Vice President of CRUZ Tequila.  “On the heels of this celebration and record-setting product growth, our entire CRUZ family is happy to respond to this good fortune by accelerating the national launch schedule which will take place as we kick off the 2008 winter holiday season.”
