Saratoga® Spring Water Now Has An Official & Pantone® Color:&  SARATOGA® SIGNATURE BLUE, COLOR 286 C

This designation affirms the unique space that Saratoga^® Spring Water occupies on the finest tables in America, and in the imagination of top chefs and connoisseurs of fine living. The official color of Saratoga Spring Water, whose origin dates back to 1872, is the centerpiece of an immersive, fully sensorial experience at Design Miami.

With an eye toward celebrating great taste, creativity, and fine dining, the brand will host a special dinner at Design Miami on December 2, helmed by Michelin-Starred chef Curtis Stone, who will delight guests, including entrepreneur and star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Kathy Hilton, with a menu that pairs inventive dishes with Saratoga Spring Water.

"The next chapter in the Saratoga^® Spring Water story pairs over 150 years of history with modernity," said Brittany Aitken, Senior Brand Manager, Saratoga Spring Water. "By partnering with Pantone, and embarking on a creative journey with Design Miami, we are also pairing science with sensation. We call this the Art of Water, an enduring connection between nature and craftsmanship, which is inspiring with every sip."

A Color Story for the Ages

"Saratoga^® Signature Blue is a brilliant cobalt blue whose energizing radiance stirs the soul," said Laurie Pressman, Vice President, Pantone Color Institute. "With its rich jewel-like presence and inherent message of sophistication, Saratoga Signature Blue is infused with an arresting beauty, evoking drama and luxury."

The use of cobalt blue in housewares and décor dates back to 2000 BC with the discovery of cobalt aluminate glass in Mesopotamia. Fast-forward through the centuries, and shades of this vibrant color have adorned ancient Egyptian pottery, glassworks of the 18^th century, and the world of fashion and modern art today.

A Multisensory Experience at Design Miami

Pairing the world of fine water with modern art, the Saratoga^® Supper Club will kick off at Design Miami, where an immersive experience created by artist Emilie Baltz, who has drawn inspiration from the geography of Saratoga Springs, New York, to create an ethereal, multisensory environment that captures the emotional essence of the springs.

The December 2 dinner by acclaimed chef Curtis Stone begins with an ode to the color blue, with an opening dish consisting of striped bass tartar covered with blue borage flowers. Throughout the meal, guests will be invited to immerse themselves in each dish.

"I'm thrilled to be working with Saratoga again to launch this year's Saratoga Supper Club," says Chef Curtis Stone. "As a chef who highlights not just the art of food but also the art of plating, Saratoga's appreciation for the Art of Water is a perfect fit for a multi-course dinner at Design Miami."

For the second year in a row, the Saratoga^® brand is a sponsor of the Bravo TV series Top Chef. Expanding on this partnership with the network, the brand is partnering with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Kathy Hilton, who returned to the series for its current season.

"I'm delighted to join Saratoga at their Supper Club launch in Miami. As everyone knows, I love events like this—whether hosting or attending them—and I'm looking forward to a terrific night of great food, fun, and of course, water," says Hilton.

Hilton is one of the busiest hosts in Los Angeles, and she always has one hydrating mainstay at her events, Saratoga Spring Water. Whether it's her annual Pajama Party, or her DirectTV holiday special, a bottle of Saratoga Spring Water is always on hand.

The Saratoga Supper Club experience will then be available to the public starting on December 4 in Miami, with subsequent seatings available in select cities through January 2025.
