Mr & Mrs T last week unleashed a summer program for its Premium Blend Bloody Mary Mix with star-studded events and a sweepstakes. Spending is estimated at $3 million to $5 million.
The beverage will serve as the official mixer for the Maui and Palm Springs International Film Festivals that kick off the Mr & Mrs T Premium Blend Golf Classic.
Rounding out the activities is a 19th hole cocktail reception, opening night films and parties, brunches and an awards program.
The Film Lovers Sweepstakes awards four, five-day trips to one film festival. The Maui festival takes place from June 12-16. The Palm Springs festival runs next year from Jan. 10-21.
