Friday Night Tasting Lineup  

 

TRU ORGANIC LEMON VODKA

TRU is an uncompromising union of nature and craft. We marry organic American wheat, pure water and whole, hand-processed ingredients to produce ideal building blocks for the PERFECT COCKTAIL. We hand-zest 800 lbs of organic lemons grown by local farmers for each small batch. this spirit is bright, vivid and juicy -- a great base for sour drinks.  

 

Our Price: 35.57

 

 

TRU ORGANIC GIN

Its complex flavors and storied look result from a 16th century technique that pre-dates double distillation and requires a full two months to make. This spirit offers a rare look at gin's origins and makes for fine sipping and farm-to-glass cocktails.

 

Our Price: 35.57

 

 

Liber & Co. Spiced Tonic Syrup - 8oz.

Our Spiced Tonic syrup is uncarbonated, thereby avoiding the "flat" fate of common tonic waters. This grants an additional measure of control to the bartender, as the separation of tonic and soda water allows novel ratios between them to afford greater customization to taste. We use only quality ingredients including real cinchona tree bark, fresh-cut lemongrass and 100% raw agave nectar. No synthetic substitutes like quinine sulphate or high-fructose corn syrup go into our bottles. Most importantly, our Spiced Tonic Syrup provides a unique and delicious experience far beyond typical tonic water. We have spared no expense in crafting our product and we think you'll agree - it's the new standard for your gin and tonic.

 

Our Price: 9.97

 

 

IXÁ ORGANIC TEQUILA

The ancient Maya believed in magic water and so do we. We make IXÁ with fully matured agave plants and traditional techniques which are becoming increasingly rare -- like slow, clay oven steaming, and fermenting & distilling with agave fibers. All this to produce a tequila worthy of the gods. Rich, complex and with the softest finish, IXÁ captures all aspects of the agave plant in harmony.

 

Our Price: 40.97

 

 

FRUITLAB ORGANIC HIBISCUS LIQUEUR

FRUITLAB liqueurs add depth and body to cocktails by bringing the flavor of whole fruits, flowers and real cane sugar to your glass.

FRUITLAB ORGANIC ORANGE LIQUEUR

Made with sweet, sour and bitter oranges, this is the perfect organic solution to cocktails that call for orange liqueur. Produced from bitter, sour and sweet oranges with organic sugar cane.
