One of New York-based Proximo's brands, Three Olives Vodka from England has introduced a festive and timely Three-O "Rangtang."

Joining Three-O’s vibrant spectrum of flavors, "Rangtang" is a hot, holiday party pour that combines the delicious tastes of orange and tangerine to create a vodka that makes killer holiday drinks and is fabulous iced straight up, too.

The Three-O Rangtang boasts a deep orange color to reflect the authenticity of the juicy new flavor. The new combination is an upstart to the traditional orange -flavored vodka market of many established brands. Rangtang is entirely fresh and tasty, unlike anything else.

Three-O’s other fun flavors have included Grape, Root Beer and Cherry vodkas, as well as Naked, Pomegranate, Chocolate, Orange, Berry, Vanilla, Citrus, Raspberry, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Mango, Tomato and Triple Shot Espresso.

Rangtang celebrates the flavors of Christmas citrus, as fresh orange and tangerine infuse the vodka, allowing mixologists to design their own signature cocktails and update old classics.

Distilled in England from wheat, Three Olives Vodka is one of the fastest growing imported vodka brands in the USA. The brand was also named the #1 Vodka by Russian Life Magazine, upsetting numerous upscale established vodka brands.

"Rangtang" is also capitalizing on late night's Conan O’Brien's return to television with the TBS premier of “Conan” last week.

To celebrate the funny man’s return, Three Olives Rangtang Vodka has put together a few celebratory cocktails to toast with “Team Coco.”

Shake up these cocktails for your nightly viewing, and take a sip to ease the awkward pause whenever Mr. O’Brien mentions that other channel, does the string dance or interrupts Andy Richter.
