I know it’s nearly as corny as putting reindeer antlers on the dog, but I do love a thematic cocktail at the holidays. Red, say. Or peppermint. And it’s another opportunity for me to slip some of my organic, boutique-manufacturer proselytizing by you in the guise of an alcoholic treat.

I include a link below for Bainbridge Organic Distillers vodka. I haven’t tried it yet. But lord, is this local for me. I plan to lay my hands on a bottle asap. And I’m excited to say there are dozens of organic distilleries popping up across the country— maybe one near you: Elemental Vodka from Portland, Oregon, Prairie Organic from Minnesota, Square One from N. Carolina, Firefly from S. Carolina, Peak Spirits, Sunshine Vodka from Vermont, Blue Ice potato vodka from Idaho (the potato connection here probably isn’t a coincidence) to name a few.

Whether you’re celebrating Channukah (started last night), Christmas, or Kwanzaa, these cocktails will provide an infusion of holiday warmth.
