Maraschino Cherries: Simply Spectacular

We are proud to unveil a new brand and website that we recently designed, programmed and launched for the National Cherry Growers & Industries Foundation (NCGIF). In fact, the timing of their launch ties in perfectly with National Ice Cream Month. Ice Cream always tastes better with a Cherry on Top.

At ICS, we like to play as hard as we work. Sometimes we capture it for all to see.

👻 Bust out the proton packs, because things got ectoplasmic at Alamo Drafthouse last month! Alamo Drafthouse teamed up with the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire movie to bring cinephiles a taste of the supernatural.

After battling those pesky poltergeists, movie-goers savored the Ecto Boozer, packed with Tito’s® Handmade Vodka and Liber & Co.® Fiery Ginger Syrup, and the Ectoplasmic Residue, featuring New Amsterdam® Gin, Barrow’s Intense Ginger Liqueur, and Aperol®. And because every ghost hunter needs a trusty sidekick, Alamo Drafthouse offered limited edition Slimer pint glasses to take home.

Who you gonna call for a good time? Ignite Creative Services, of course!

🌟✨ Sip Back in Time: The Whimsical Tale of White Wine! 🍇🕰️

Step into our time machine, dear friends, as we embark on a journey through history to uncover the sparkling origins of white wine! 🚀🍷 From ancient Persia to the sun-kissed vineyards of Greece and Italy, this is a story that'll tickle your taste buds and spark your imagination! 💫🍇

Picture this: it's 3500 B.C., and modern-day Iran is the birthplace of our beloved white wine! 🇮🇷🍇 The process? Oh, it's pure magic—fermenting a heavenly elixir from non-colored grape pulp, creating a potion fit for the gods! 🍇✨

Fast forward to 460 B.C., and Greece becomes the next stop on our white wine adventure! 🇬🇷🍷 The Romans, always ones for a good party, borrowed a page from the Greeks' winemaking playbook, setting the stage for vineyard extravaganzas in the Bay of Naples and beyond! 🍇🎉

And oh, the climate! Italy's embrace of wine grapes in just the right conditions? It's like poetry in a bottle! 🍇🌞 So, here's to the ancient artisans, the grape whisperers, and the timeless tradition of white wine! 🥂✨ #VintageVibes #WhiteWineWonderland

🐝🍇 Unveiling the Wasp's Secret! 🍷✨

Hold onto your hats, folks, because we're about to dive into the wild world of wasps, grapes, and the magical dance of fermentation! 🎩🌟 Who knew these buzzing critters could be the unsung heroes of your favorite wine, beer, and bread? 🍺🥖

Sure, some might see wasps as hypodermic needles with wings and a bit of 'tude, but in the grand scheme of things, they're the ultimate vineyard VIPs! 🐝💫 Picture this: as summer rolls in, grapes become the ultimate feast for these tiny gastronomes. They chow down on the sweet, juicy fruits and carry them back to their nests, where magic truly happens! 🍇✨

Enter Saccharomyces cerevisiae – the superstar yeast that transforms grapes into liquid gold. These little bugs unwittingly become carriers of this precious yeast, passing it down to their young ones like the ultimate gift of flavor! 🎁🌿

So, when winter's chill sets in, and all seems lost, fear not! The legacy of S. cerevisiae lives on, thanks to our buzzing buddies. 🐝❄️ They've ensured that the cycle of fermentation continues, bringing joy to tastebuds all around the world! 🌍✨ #WaspWonder #FermentationFiesta

🌸🥂 Get ready to ride the wave of beverage trends with Ignite! According to Monin's 2024 Flavor Trends report, pop culture and social media are influencing what we drink more than ever before. Did you know that 72% of consumers are eager to try new flavors they discover online, just to "see what the hype is about"? And it's not just millennials – nearly 80% of Gen Zers are willing to sample menu items simply because they saw them on social media. From cocktails as pink as Barbie to entire bars themed after summer camps, the influence of microtrends, current events, and limited-time offers is undeniable. In fact, 67% of consumers are craving more fads and short-term trends at their favorite restaurants and retail spots (Datassential).

So, how can you tap into this trend-savvy audience? Craft expressive and tailored menus that create those "you had to be there" moments worth sharing on social media! And guess what's trending now? New florals, bright colors, and creative mashups. 🍹✨ Get ready to elevate your beverage game with Ignite's Bubbles and Flowers cocktail recipe – it's the perfect blend of trendsetting flavors and Instagram-worthy aesthetics!

1 oz Smirnoff Vodka
.5 oz Lemon Juice, Fresh Pressed
.5 oz Monin Hibiscus Syrup
3 oz Prosecco

Add Vodka, Lemon Juice and Syrup to a Cocktail Shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled Champagne Flute. Top with Prosecco. Garnish with a Candied Hibiscus Flower.
