How the Gorilla evolved?

(Not as hard as you might think.)

While hanging with friends one night, mixing up new and unusual cocktails for their friends, a few fun-loving primates stumbled on to something very special. They took the raspberry flavor everyone loved and added a bit of ginger to it. The result was unlike anything they tried before – it was complex, but not complicated. Sweet, but not sticky. Sophisticated, but not serious.

And it became the Original Blue Razzberry mixer.

Before long, the Blue Gorilla word was being shouted through the skies from the top of city skyscrapers! Okay, not really. But people did start talking about it and bars and specialty stores came running. Looks like there’s a new king in town.
