Earth Day – Organic & Sustainable Spirits

ByJonas Halpren

Greentini Happy Earth Day!

This year the beverage industry is full of sustainable and organic products. We’ve had the pleasure to try a few.

360 Vodka: a 100% organic vodka from the Midwest.

Veev: A sustainable açai spirit full of antioxidants and made with a process that uses 200% less energy than traditional methods.

Root: An organic sassafrass, sarsparilla spirit from the folks at Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (that’s quite a word full).  Think root beer!  This drink tastes remarkably like root beer and makes great drinks that taste like it as well

Prairie Vokda: another vodka from the Midwest that is certified organic and kosher.  This vodka is not only green, but a helps the community as the corn, which is the base material for the spirit, is purchased from a coop of 900 farmers in Minnesota and the waste is used as energy to run the stills.

Del Maguey Mezcal:  the company that revolutionized the mezcal industry.  Del Maguey makes 8 different mezcals, including one infused with chicken breast and helps support one village, where all of their mezcals are made.

Try 360’s Greentini.

    ByThe Barkeep

    Hello, my girlfriend doesn’t drink very often because she doesn’t know what mixed drinks to order. She likes frozen daiquiris and piña coladas and she also like rum and pineapple juice.
