If you’re looking for something new in the world of spirits, why not get back to nature? Organic ingredients make for some of the purest handcrafted spirits available, ideal for sipping neat or mixing into your favorite cocktail. Here are four of our favorite organic spirits of the season.
Punzoné Vodka
Crafted from organic wheat sourced exclusively from Piedmont, Punzoné distills a clean, balanced spirit using water from the Italian Alps. The only organic vodka to receive the international five- star diamond award from The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences four years running, this Italian import aims to set a new standard in clear spirits. For something a little different, try the Punzoné Blood Orange Originale and Punzoné Lemoncino liqueurs.
Bonterra Organic Vineyards
Since 1993, this vineyard has been growing 100-percent organic grapes for one reason: It makes better wine. Using certified organic processes like composting and biodiversity, and avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, Bonterra Organic Vineyards makes wine that reflects the purity and intensity of each grape varietal. Situated in Mendocino County and intermingled with olive trees, lavender fields, and poppies, Bonterra Organic Vineyards is known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, along with a selection of biodynamic wines.
Farmer’s Botanical Organic Gin
This brand is all about sustainability and ecological preservation; it’s called Farmer’s, after all. Working with organic crop farmers, the distiller uses only high-quality, certified organic grains grown in the U.S., and thoughtfully selected botanicals—like lemongrass, angelica root, juniper, elderflower, and coriander—for a pristine aroma and taste.
Crop Harvest Earth Vodka
When it comes to vodka, the purer the ingredients, the better the product. That’s the case with Crop Harvest Earth Vodka, which is USDA Certified Organic and produced from American-grown grain free from artificial pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals. The result? A crisp, clean, pure taste in a line of flavors that reflects the dedication to the earth. If you’re keen on flavored vodka, try the Crop Cucumber Vodka with soda or the Crop Tomato Vodka in your next Bloody Mary. For a sweet, tart variation, go for the Crop Meyer Lemon Vodka—lovely on its own or mixed in a martini.
