My husband and I like to go to the Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival every year to try to see if we can find any new beverages or food that we like. This year, we came across a great company, T.O. Bevy. They make Organic Vodka and Organic Vodka Coolers. They are located in Manitoba, Canada and belong to the USDA Organic and OPAM (Organic Producers Association of Manitoba).
About the Vodka Coolers (taken right from their site):
"Totally Organic Beverages have a 5% alcohol content by volume and are available in four delicious flavours, all of which are certified organic and contain no artificial flavours, no artificial colours, no preservatives, and no added sugar."
The first drink I tried was the Balcur (Black Currant juice and Vodka), my tastebuds went nuts. It tasted exactly like fruit juice -- I couldn't detect any of the vodka in the taste or the smell. I had my husband try some as well, and he thought it was great. He usually does not like coolers, but he said that if he were to ever drink a cooler, it would definitely be one of these. All of our friends also tried some (different flavors) and they were also amazed. This became my favorite booth of the night. As the night went on, I tried the Mang (Mango), Cran (Cranberry) and Pomm (Pomegranate) -- they were all tastey as well, but I had a soft spot for the Balcur. The gentleman that was running the booth also convinced me to try the vodka straight. The vodka had no noticeable smell to it and the taste did not burn like a usual vodka, it went down very smooth.
If you enjoy coolers and were looking for one that is better on the environment and better for your health (all the other coolers have ingredients that I can barely pronounce, which is generally not a good sign), I would highly suggest one of the Vodka Coolers by T.O. Bevy. If you like to mix your vodka or drink it straight - then definitely try their Organic Premium 4 Column Distilled Vodka.
The gentlemen at the booth did mention that it is hard to currently find their products in the liquor stores, as they are very new. But he did say that if you request the owner to order it in, they should have it to you within a couple of days. To check out what stores currently carry it, please check here.
