4th of July is a time for celebrating and often goes hand in hand with imbibing in beer, wine and distilled spirits. Though we don’t promote overdoing it, why not follow a greener path while enjoying the festivities? It’s healthier for both you and Mother Nature. Here are some of the top USDA-certified organic spirits:
Crop – Vodka
It claims to be the cleanest vodka. I must admit their farming and distilling practices are impressive. What is even more impressive is that they are not only organic but keeping up with the times in making flavored vodkas as well. Crop currently comes in Artisanal, Tomato and Cucumber. Although I personally haven’t had the pleasure, see what our taste testers have to say.
Tierras – Tequila
Their motto is “Warming planets…Check. Ice Caps Melting…Check. Economies of Chaos…Check. It’s time for change!” and they were the first to do it with Tequila. There are 3 grades, made in small batches, using 5 generation old methods. It has received mucho kudos and won awards. If you’re a tequila fan like I am, you need to try it!
Momokawa – SakeOne
This is Oregon-crafted sake. They make the filtered, Junmai Ginjo and the non-filtered, Nigori. What I like most about this company is that they have started putting Sake on tap. No more running through glass bottles! It’s a whole new green direction that I totally support. What organic liquor is next to be tapped?
Thatcher’s – Liqueur
They come in 11 different flavors and are essential for anyone really interested in mixology. Mix some organic vodka with the Elderflower or some whiskey with the Apple Spice Ginger and you have a new martini or manhattan in your hands.
We’re also mad for Modmix for mixing flavorful libations.
If you can’t find any of these brands, ask your local liquor store or bar. Most likely, they’ll order it for you. The demand for change starts with you.
