Jennifer Lopez Launches Delola

Jennifer Lopez is proud to announce the creation of THE HOUSE OF DELOLA LLC, a company she founded to launch unique, mixology-level ready-to-enjoy cocktails designed for elegant, effortless entertaining as part of a thoughtful lifestyle. Delola offers premium spirit-based, full-flavored, crafted cocktails that are made with natural botanicals, are gluten free and lower calorie than traditional cocktails, and are served in beautifully-crafted glass bottles designed for easy sharing when entertaining friends and family – just open, pour over ice and serve.

The first release, "DELOLA SPRITZ" is available in three original cocktails: BELLA BERRY SPRITZ made with berry, hibiscus and premium vodka; a full-bodied cocktail with notes of red berries, hibiscus and citrus. PALOMA ROSA SPRITZ made with grapefruit, elderflower and premium tequila; an elevated Paloma with notes of ripe, luscious grapefruit, rich elderflower and a dash of salt. And L'ORANGE SPRITZ made with orange, passionfruit and premium amaro; an ode to the Italian spritzes with notes of bright, delicious fruit perfectly balanced with the bitterness of amaro. Delola will be available in 750ml and 375ml premium embossed glass bottles and will be sold in fine grocery and spirits establishments, restaurants, and bars beginning in April with a continued roll out throughout spring. The company will launch in the United States and expand globally in the years to come. Beam Suntory, a leading global spirits company, is a minority investor in Delola and has been named Delola's global distribution partner.

Known for her strong work ethic, Jennifer still prioritizes balance, and between projects she makes time for friends and family. For Jennifer, when it's time to unwind with her friends, it's time for Lola, a longtime nickname that reflects her more playful, carefree side. In those times, Jennifer "Lola" enjoys a glass of rosé, champagne or light cocktail. One of her favorite places to unwind is the Italian coast, where she discovered spritzes. Jennifer was inspired to develop her own refreshing and flavorful spritzes – delicious, spirit-based cocktails free from artificial colors and without all the sugars traditional spritzes can contain, crafted with natural botanicals and about as much alcohol as a glass of wine. Delola is something she can enjoy when unwinding and entertaining friends while still being true to her thoughtful lifestyle.

Ms. Lopez stated, "I love entertaining and to relax and unwind with friends, but never found a drink that was right for me. I was in search of something that I could enjoy that fit the thoughtful way that I live my life. When I didn't find it, I decided to create Delola. My goals were better ingredients, better taste, fewer calories than traditional cocktails, and one simple pour. Something easy, fun, fresh and delicious. I knew that if I was looking, others were too. Delola gives people the freedom to enjoy – free from the cutting, squeezing, and mixing, free from the stress of entertaining, free to make ordinary moments extraordinary. Each one is bottled up in a beautiful glass bottle and ready to serve. Just pour over ice and enjoy. I started this journey two years ago and I'm so excited to finally share Delola with the world."

Jennifer began developing Delola in 2020 in collaboration with drinks industry veterans, Ken Austin and Jenna Fagnan and her manager and business partner Benny Medina. Jennifer brought in globally renowned mixologist Lynnette Marrero to collaborate on these unique cocktails. Lynnette was voted 2021 "World's Best Bartender" by her peers around the world and is known for her ability to create the finest, most delicious world-class crafted cocktails. Jennifer and the Delola team are also working to develop a scholarship program that will contribute money towards higher education for women who might not otherwise be able to receive that education.

Jenna Fagnan, co-founder of Delola stated, "Ken and I have been inspired by Jennifer's hands-on approach to building the Delola business. What Jennifer is bringing to consumers is something that has been missing from the market. We all live busy lives and it is nice to know you now don't need to be friends with the world's best mixologist to get the world's best cocktails. You can just pick up a bottle of Delola to host your friends, or to spoil yourself just a bit. We all deserve world-class crafted, delicious cocktails made with natural botanicals and without all the calories of a traditional, high-proof cocktail. Delola is what many of us have been seeking."

Co-Founder Ken Austin noted, "Jennifer's work ethic ranks up there with the best and we've worked closely together for over two years to ensure we are bringing the very best product and an exciting, engaging brand to the world. Jennifer pays attention to every detail and won't settle for anything less than the best. Every detail from the brand's name to its elegant bottle with meaningful embossing, to the fine liquids are led by Jennifer and her vision for the brand. We are excited for the world to try Delola. It's all in the bottle, delicious and effortless, just pour over ice."

The Delola bottle is embossed with the "Delola Crest" which was inspired by the Bronx crest, Jennifer's hometown, and with lions and ivy vines around the beautiful labels that Jennifer art directed. Jennifer and Lynnette collaborated on flavors that Jennifer loves and that they felt would be perfect for entertaining and pairing with food.

Jessica Spence, North America President of Beam Suntory, stated, "When Jennifer, Benny, Ken and Jenna came to us with the Delola concept, we immediately knew we wanted to be involved. Our partnership with Delola is part of our larger global RTD strategy and Delola is the perfect complement to the brands in our portfolio. We are incredibly excited to leverage our capabilities to bring Delola's unique proposition to consumers and make it a tremendous success."

Delola will be available starting April in three delicious expressions, all approximately 110 calories or less per serving: Bella Berry Spritz (10.5% ABV), Paloma Rosa Spritz (11.5% ABV), and L'Orange Spritz (10.5% ABV). Delola comes in 750ml (SRP $22.99) and 375ml (SRP $11.99) beautiful, embossed glass bottles.

Wayne Chaplin, CEO of Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits stated, "Jennifer Lopez is someone we know and admire as a global multi-talented artist and entrepreneur. People around the world love her for many reasons and we are thrilled to represent Delola in the United States with Jennifer, Benny, Ken, Jenna, and our partners at Beam Suntory. We have known and worked with Ken and Jenna who have created iconic brands such as Teremana Tequila with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey with Conor McGregor and Avion Tequila. Launching Delola created by such an iconic team will undoubtedly be another great success."

"Delola has been an exciting and inspiring journey and I am incredibly proud of what we are about to bring to people around the world," added Ms. Lopez.

Delola Ready to Enjoy Spritz Cocktails was founded by international artist, actor, and entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez, her business partner Benny Medina and global drinks veterans Ken Austin and Jenna Fagnan. The name DELOLA came from a long-time nickname given to Ms. Lopez; "Lola" thus Delola or "from Lola". With three expressions – Bella Berry Spritz crafted with Premium Vodka, berry and hibiscus, Paloma Rosa Spritz crafted with Premium Tequila, grapefruit and elderflower and L'Orange Spritz crafted with Amaro, Orange and Passionfruit. Each product comes in 375ml (SRP $11.99) and 750ml bottles (SRP $22.99). The liquids are spirit-based and made with natural botanicals, ranging from 10.5% (21 proof) to 11.5% alcohol (23 proof), are approximately 110 calories or less per 5oz serving, and are gluten free. Beam Suntory is a minority investor and global distribution partner for Delola which will be sold in the finest grocery and spirit stores, restaurants and bars in The United States beginning April.

EcoFlow Presents Home Solutions at CES 2023 Event

EcoFlow, a portable power and renewable energy solutions company, debuts three new smart devices at the show: the Wave 2 Portable Air Conditioner, as well as CES 2023 Honorees – Blade robotic lawn-sweeping mower, and Glacier Portable Fridge with a built-in ice maker. The three new smart devices further reflect the brand's commitment to transform the eco-friendly way of living powered by EcoFlow.

The brand also showcased its new home backup power solution, demonstrating how power has never been this easy. Built around the powerful DELTA Pro portable power station, EcoFlow's home backup power solution is a quiet and reliable portable home battery setup to replace noisy and highly polluting generators. The set-up attracted attention as a groundbreaking solution to ease the effects of the global energy crisis and make powering one's life easier than ever.

EcoFlow's Head of Business Development, Brian Essenmacher, said: "We're excited to be showcasing our new smart devices and innovative home backup power solution at CES 2023. In recent years, we've been through the life-altering pandemic, we've got rising electricity bills and have been experiencing extreme weather that is creating an ever more unstable energy situation. This is why EcoFlow is providing power that's easier than ever to help users to make the most of life, whether it's by saving time and costs, or by making life more enjoyable at home, outdoor and in mobile spaces."

As a hotbed of the latest and best of technological innovation where ideas become reality, CES 2023 provided the ideal setting for EcoFlow to demonstrate how its growing ecosystem of smart devices improves life at home, outdoors and in mobile spaces. The three new products unveiled by EcoFlow at CES 2023 are: EcoFlow Blade: The world's first lawn-sweeping robotic mower, EcoFlow Blade proves cheaper than professional mowing services and requires less physical effort than standard robotic mowers, making lawn care totally hassle-free. EcoFlow Wave 2: Following the success of the first Wave Portable Air Conditioner, the new second generation is capable of both heating and cooling, making life even more comfortable outdoors and in off-grid spaces. EcoFlow Glacier: Glacier is the industry's first portable fridge to feature a built-in icemaker, keeping food fresh and drinks topped up with ice for maximum enjoyment.

Of the three new products, both EcoFlow Blade and EcoFlow Glacier were selected as CES 2023 Honorees, highlighting their exceptional innovative designs and their potential for improving users' quality of life.

Home Backup Power for Lasting Peace of Mind

Most of us rely on the grid for our electricity, and when the grid fails, the consequences can range from frustrating to fatal. Traditionally, people turned to fuel generators as emergency power solution during blackouts. While fuel generators are noisy, smoky and produce high levels of dangerous carbon monoxide, EcoFlow's home backup power solution provides backup power that is clean, quiet and safe. The home backup power solution for North American market is built around DELTA Pro, the powerful portable power station with fastest charging speeds, connecting up to a massive 7200W output, which is enough to keep critical circuits running for up to a week. The alternative home backup solution for users in Europe is with EcoFlow's industry-leading modular energy system, Power Kits. Based on power needs, users can choose and connect up to six LFP batteries, which offer a base capacity of 2KWh and are expandable to 30KWh with the use of Smart Home Panel. This solution supports a maximum of 9600W solar input, allowing charging from multiple types and quantities of solar panels, which users can also choose from EcoFlow solar panel collection to achieve a sustainable lifestyle. In cases of emergency, user can easily use their own backup generators to charge Power Kits. While standard home power solutions require professional installation can take weeks or months to install, EcoFlow's new solutions are made to be easy to install in both homes and RVs. Just like the three new devices, the home backup solutions allow users to lead more comfortable lives with power that has never been so easy.
