Filipinos now have the license to drink and drive.

This never before heard statement was made as Candy Corner unveils its cool selection of Jelly Belly Mocktails. The world’s no. 1 gourmet jellybean ushers in the metro’s favorite party mixes in safe but nonetheless, sexy concoctions.

“Jelly Belly recognizes the fact that drinking alcoholic beverages is already an integral part of Filipino celebrations. However, we also want to make our roads a safer place to stroll. The Jelly Belly Mocktails presents a stylish way for drivers to enjoy the same goodness of their favorite alcoholic drinks without putting lives in peril,” says Ricky Andres, President of Candy Corner.

Bursting with more than 50 true to life flavors, the Jelly Belly Mocktails are sure to reward responsible drivers for not exceeding their alcohol limits. No leaving the party just yet even if you already reached your alcohol tolerance. Ranging from the usual flavors of tropical mixes like apple and orange to the more unconventional tang of popcorn, party goers can still quench their thirst with the Jelly Belly Mocktails without taking their chances with the Reaper.

Candy Corner also launches the Jelly Belly Martini Recipe Book for homebodies who prefer more intimate celebrations. Tapping into the expertise of the Cellar Dwellers, a group of experts who specialize in drink mixes, the Jelly Belly Martini Recipe Book is sure to spike home-based merry making.

And to bring the celebration to a sumptuous full circle, Jelly Belly introduces a mocktail-meal pairing. Prepared with the sophisticated skills of Chef Jay Gamboa of El Cirkulo, urbanites can now match their Jelly Belly Mocktails with the most appropriate gastronomic treat. Chef Jay also conjured two special desserts using Jelly Belly as the main ingredient. The Jelly Belly Caramel and Apple Cinnamon Pie and Jelly Belly Lemon and Cheesecake Tart render a unique flavor and texture to traditional desserts staging the most palatable blow outs in the metro.

“Efforts to curtail drunk-driving don’t have to be grim and uncool. With this project, we hope to bring back the fun and coolness in sobriety”, notes Ricky.
