Get Spirited with Organic Liquor Sure, we eat organic fruit and cook wild salmon to satiate our hunger. But what about when we want something fun and refreshing to quench our thirst? Now you can. It was only a matter of time when organic alcohol begins to hit specialty liquor shops. While alcohol is alcohol (you still get the same amount of calories), how it is produced and manufactured has not been truly regulated. Traditional farming has involved pesticides and fertilizers that are harmful to the farmers as well as the ground underneath us. New organic liquors are produced by sustainable farming free of such harmful ingredients and methods, which lead to a sense of guilt free drinking. But clearly, drink responsibly and enjoy in moderation.

Tru Organic Straight Vodka
$33.99 for 750ml
This drink is pretty strong and has a bite if drunken straight from the bottle. I love mixed drinks, and this vodka can make a mean peach cocktail. Just add 3 oz Tru Organic Straight Vodka with 1/4 ripe peach, 1 teaspoon sugar, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprig of mint. Shake it up and pour it over rocks. Delicious!

Rain Vodka
$17.99 for 1.0 liter
This liquor is handmade in small quantities from organic white corn. This is actually a very smooth drink straight from the bottle with a hint of flowers and a nice aftertaste. It is a very feminine bottle and great for mixed drinks as well.

Juniper Green Organic London Dry Gin
$24.99 for 750ml
This gin is made with organic grain, juniper berries, angelica root and other herbs. There is a minty sweet flavor to it and is pretty smooth. Again, great as a mixed drink, such as a tonic with a slice of lemon.
