Bathtub Gin - New York
by
Rhuby launched in the US during 2012, since then one of our best customers has been Bathtub Gin. So if you are in New York, make sure to visit this great establishment for some wonderful Rhuby cocktails.
Did you know that gin was the predominant drink in the US during the prohibition? We are glad that gin isn’t steeped in bathtubs anymore. Rhuby mixes really good with gin, during the Pink Your Drink competitions many of the bartenders have used gin. If you want inspiration for mixing, visit the Pink Your Drink section on the webpage and find some great tips.

Strängnäs Julmarknad
by
December 14th, Rhuby took part of the annual Christmas market in Strängnäs, Sweden. 70 exhibitors were invited to show their products to the visitors at the town square. Day started yearly and snow was falling from the sky. The cold weather did not stop Rhuby and with a car packed with cheese trays, Rhuby marmalade and bottles for display, we headed to the town square.
A lot of people came to visit and a few days later we sent a special gift to a lovely lady we met that day. She was one of the first customers, buying her first bottle in December 2011 when Rhuby launched at the nearby Systembolaget store. Rhuby enjoys being part of the community in Strängnäs, people are supportive and really enjoys that a liqueur is produced in their town. See you again in 2014.

2013 was the year that Rhuby Liqueur webpage received a makeover. The previous simple one needed some brushing up to better suit the beauty of the brand.
The founder want the webpage to show the essence of the Rhuby brand and to portray the elegance and the appealing features of the product. The new website romanticise and contribute to the rural feeling that Rhuby represent. The webpage is supposed to be a source of information and historical portrayal of the brand. It will be regularly updated so one can see what paths the brand takes.
The company Red Onion was contracted the task of interpreting the Rhuby brand. During the evolution of the website, the duo never took a wrong step in the design process. They were always on pitch and came with their own beautiful proposals for design elements.

Breast Cancer Awareness
by
What better to do to support the cause than chocolate pralines in partnership with Prima Pralin?
Delightful Rhuby truffles in the shape of – yeah that’s right – BREASTS.
Not only delightful in flavour and shape but carrying an important message and raising funds for the Pink Ribbon.
We thought a brilliant idea.
