Fans get two opportunities to connect with Burleson and learn about the Lionblood Vodka collaboration with Valentine Distilling.

Burleson will be at Belle’s Lounge (161 Vester Street, Ferndale) on Friday, June 13, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and then at Kroger (22801 Harper Ave, St. Clair Shores) on Saturday, June 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

At Belle’s, Burleson will pour drinks, socialize, host a meet-and-greet on Friday, June 13, and sign Lionblood bottles at Kroger on Saturday, June 14.

For Lions fans, this is a great moment to connect with a Detroit football great and a fantastic way to treat Dad on Father’s Day Weekend.

The vision for LionBlood Orange Vodka came to life when multimedia personality Burleson approached Rifino Valentine, founder and president of Valentine Distilling Co., to create a vodka like no other.

The result is a refined, herbaceous spirit with delicate elderflower notes and the punch of blood orange.

The soft mouthfeel and bold citrus finish make it perfect for sipping or mixing into craft cocktails.

As an extension of his Detroit-based LionBlood clothing brand, Burleson is excited to create more in Motor City.

Like all Valentine Distilling Co. products, LionBlood Orange Vodka is packaged in a premium glass bottle.

The bottle features prohibition-era cut Kristel stylings and a label crafted from the finest materials, a true representation of the brand’s commitment to quality and attention to detail.

  • Proof: 70 (35% Alcohol by Volume)
  • 750 mL bottle
  • 20% fewer calories and carbs than leading flavored vodka alternatives
