"Relaxation" drink delivers on sensations from an exotic culture

Richmond, Virginia, (October 19, 2009) – Alternative Beverage Innovations, LLC today announced it has produced a liquid blend of rare herbs into a formula guaranteed to take consumers by storm. Liquid RelaxX – developed overseas after a year of research and testing – is the latest trend in exotic pleasure beverages.

Anticipating growth in what the industry is calling the “relaxation” category, company founder Roy Anise sought inspiration from a city where sinful pleasures and experimentation are savored. He traveled to Amsterdam and partnered with a Dutch inventor and drink mixologist. They quickly began experimenting with different herbal mixtures and eventually captured the formula they knew customers needed in their lives.

"The most interesting aspect about this beverage is that it provides a stress relieving euphoric sensation, yet it allows the mind to remain sharp and alert,” says Anise.

Liquid RelaxX will be launched internationally in early 2010 and available to major retailers in a 1.7 oz. concentrated shot bottle and an 8.4 oz. can - sold at a premium price.

In addition, Alternative Beverage Innovations will be releasing a groundbreaking, nicotine free alternative to smoking called Liquid Smoking.

"We designed Liquid Smoking for consumers who are looking for a great tasting alternative to smoking that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere,” notes Anise, a former tobacco industry senior executive who was responsible for developing alternative products for a major tobacco company. During his partnership with the Dutch company, Anise discovered that Liquid Smoking performed extremely well in European market taste tests.

“As Americans find it increasingly more difficult to smoke in public spaces, we will offer them a delicious, herbal option that's sure to be a pleasurable alternative for when they do not smoke,” adds Anise.

Liquid RelaxX and Liquid Smoking will be unveiled October 20-23 at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the NACS show, convenience and petroleum industry representatives and the news media can stop by ABI’s booth # 6542, which depicts an exotic Amsterdam Red Light district/coffee shop street scene, to sample the products and get more information.

“I have been to many trade shows and seen many booths, but our NACS set is on another level,” notes Anise. “It feels as curiously shocking and sinful as the real Red Light District.”

In the hot beverage category, Javo will demonstrate its “on-demand” system for serving endless cups of fresh, brewed coffee.  This industry innovation allows coffee preparation as needed with the benefits of dramatically improved coffee quality throughout the day, the elimination of waste from holding prepared coffee, and the freeing of employees to deliver better customer service.  Several new specialty blends will be available for sampling including: Roast Master Select, European Roast, African Highlands, Rainforest Blend and 100% Organic Peruvian.  In addition, Javo will feature Vanilla Crème, Hazelnut and Harvest Spice flavored coffees.

 Always at the forefront of consumer trends, Javo will also be introducing a new line of fortified nutrition shakes, packaged for foodservice beverage equipment.  Tapping into increasing demand for functionally beneficial, non-carbonated beverages, Javo has formulated a Vanilla Crème Shake with 33% of recommended daily allowances of essential vitamins and minerals, the perfect solution for mobile, on-the-go consumers. The Company is also introducing Orange Mango Immune Boost, a citrus beverage boosted with a package of functional supplements intended to boost immune systems. 

 To assist convenience retailers in capturing a share of the booming premium tea category, Javo has also introduced a new super premium, fresh-brewed tea program available in convenient 32 ounce packages. These beverage concentrates may be mixed with eight parts water to make a variety of specialty, premium iced teas, including: Passion Fruit Black, Mandarin Rooibos, Hibiscus Pomegranate, and Lemon Lime Sencha.
