Belvedere had created a new ultra-premium vodka that needed an ultra-premium name. Above all, the name for this black coated bottle with laser cut text and graphics needed to be evocative, mysterious, and imagistic. River + Wolf generated hundreds of names, among them Cut Diamond, Midnight Walk, Swordplay, and Dark Zable (the Polish word for saber). After a little mixing and matching, the team at Belvedere repurposed our names into Midnight Saber.
