Elemental, Uninhibited and Sexy. These are the three bold words upon which this year’s new got-to-drink beverage bases itself. We give you Salto, a new citrus-flavoured cachaça so tantalisingly refreshing that trend-watchers have dubbed it Brazil’s answer to Pimm’s. It’s either all or nothing with this new spirit as it brings with it the unreserved lust for life and spontaneous nature so notorious of its exotic Brazilian origins. With more and more people experimenting with cocktail-making at home and a growing trend for mid-proof strength spirits there never was a better time for such a spirit to be launched at the hottest event of the 2010 calender.

PR Manager, Ellie Hernman from Salto added; “We are delighted to be the proud sponsors of the Urban Music Awards 2010. Elemental, Uninhibited and Sexy are the three bold words upon which Salto, this year’s new got-to-drink beverage, bases itself, and with the UMA’s encompassing all of these key qualities and more, it is the perfect match for Salto. Salto is a new citrus-flavoured cachaça so tantalisingly refreshing that trend-watchers have dubbed it Brazil’s answer to Pimm’s. It’s either all or nothing with this new spirit as it brings with it the unreserved lust for life and spontaneous nature so notorious of its exotic Brazilian origins. Creativity is at the core of Salto as a brand and supporting some of the world’s best talent at this fantastic event is incredibly gratifying and a real pleasure”.

Given the positive response from various and diverse cognoscenti of the drinks industry who have tried and tested the product, innovators, Mike Spurling and Steve Drawbell are confident about the brand. “We wanted to create a product and brand that was accessible and refreshing that could capture the energy and excitement of Brazil,” comments Mike. Steve follows on, “Salto’s uniquely refreshing flavour and mid-proof strength will appeal to a whole range of consumers; the summer launch campaign is packed full of exciting events and we are sure that Salto will be a welcome addition to the London bar scene.”

Salto has already been involved in several enterprises including the spring/summer exhibition of Soho-based photography and illustration agency SkinnyDip, a showcase of artist Marcus Walters’s work (who was consequently commissioned to design part of the Salto website,www.saltobrazil.com), as well as various press days for aspiring fashion designers including Alice Palmer, Rakish Heels and Saffron Knight. This summer has already seen Salto’s involvement in Festival Brazil at the Southbank Centre, the infamous Notting Hill Carnival and the fashion exhibition of menswear label H by Harris, the designs of which have recently been featured in Elle, Esquire, GQ, The Times Magazine and ShortList magazine. Salto’s involvement will also be seen at the forthcoming London Fashion Week and the acclaimed Urban Music Awards.

CEO of the Urban Music Awards, Jordan Kensington added ; “Salto fits quite perfectly into the general entertainment, music and fashion mix that has become associated with the Urban Music Awards and to be part of the launch of Salto is extremely exciting as we build it’s long term success starting from now and continuing in the future”.

From the creative affiliations, to the flavour of the spirit and even the style of the bottle, everything communicates the ‘Spirit of Brazil’. “We want to share with the world the amazing qualities that this Brazilian spirit has to offer at the highest level,” claims Mike. What makes it so drinkable? Apart from its agreeable taste, its strength is less than that of other cachaça brands which typically range between 38% – 40% ABV. At just 24% ABV Salto not only offers consumers a refreshing and accessible drink experience but versatility; it defines current sensibilities and trends, its hallmark being a delectable mix of bitter, zingy, citrus flavours. Society’s willingness to embrace all things new, combined with Salto’s accessibility gives this new spirit true potential to expand the reach of cachaça creating an exciting new range of drinks. Salto appeals to the steadily growing demographic of sophisticated, individualistic drinkers who are increasingly looking for a new spirit experience.

Salto can be sipped and savoured over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime; it makes a refreshing summer drink with fresh lime and a splash of lemonade, and it also mixes perfectly with any fruit juice and brings a new citrus edge to cocktails. The fruity citrus flavours in this new mid-proof strength spirit gives it a zingy bite and taste. As a Brazilian Fever spreads across the UK it’s time for Pimm’s to step aside. There’s a new drink in town!
