THE CŌPAJN POUR — Issue 1
Hey family — Dee here.
Welcome to The Cōpajn Pour. Once a month, one story, one pour, one reason to pull up a chair. No fluff, just what’s pouring.
WHY BLACK?
We didn’t set out to make another vodka. We set out to make the first recognizable sipping vodka.
Vodka had become invisible — clear bottle, clear pour, forgettable. We wanted a bottle you recognize across the room, a pour you remember, and a sip you actually slow down for.
That’s Cōpajn Black. Bold in appearance. Smooth in character. Made to be a statement, not a gimmick.
Fun fact: The world’s first black vodka got its color from catechu, an herb extract — not food coloring. Black was always meant to stand out.
CHICAGO POURS: BLACK LEMONADE
This one’s from the city. Chicago bartenders have been running our Signature Pour all summer, and it’s simple for a reason:
Cōpajn Black over ice. Top with lemonade. Lemon twist.
It’s the Black Lemonade — bright, bold, and built for a backyard, a bar, or a Sunday cookout.
Fun fact: Vodka wasn’t always America’s drink. We were whiskey drinkers. By 1975, vodka became our favorite spirit — and now a third of all cocktails contain it.
Try it this weekend and tell me what you think. Tag @copajn_vodka.
