ARMADA, MI – When two of Michigan’s craft beverage makers joined forces last year to create Apple Pie Vodka, they had no idea just how popular that sweet concoction would become.

Now in its second year, the fall-inspired spirit is once again available, marking a coveted partnership between Blake’s Hard Cider of Armada and Gypsy Spirits from Petoskey.

This limited-edition Apple Pie Vodka combines Gypsy’s premium vodka with the taste of Blake’s freshly-pressed apple cider, enhanced by hints of cinnamon and brown sugar.

“We were extremely pleased with the response last year, and we were eager to return for another season,” stated Michael Kazanowski, who co-established Gypsy Spirits alongside his twin brother, Adam. “This collaboration with Blake’s has been truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to once again share this beloved, Michigan-made spirit with our community.”

Apple Pie Vodka is now offered at both Blake’s and Gypsy Spirits tasting rooms. It can also be found on retail shelves, including locations like Meijer and Total Wine stores.

The collaboration marks Blake’s first venture into a spirits-based beverage. The hard cider company, established over ten years ago on their family farm in Southeast Michigan, has become one of the largest craft cider enterprises in the nation.

Gypsy Spirits has also gained recognition in Northern Michigan and beyond. Their latest venture, a combined production area and expansive tasting room and events center, has turned into a notable destination just beyond Petoskey. Some of its most popular products include not only its vodka but also its Petoskey Stone Gin, Mackinac Island Rum, and its canned cocktails.

“Working alongside the Gypsy Spirits team has been a rewarding experience across four collaborations,” stated Andrew Blake, CEO of Blake’s Beverage Company. “The return of Apple Pie Vodka, which is always a favorite during the fall, truly highlights what two dedicated Michigan companies can accomplish together.”
