Falling LEAF Cocktail

What kinds of mixed drinks do you serve to friends in the fall?

I always struggle with this because when I think of mixed drinks I usually defer to summer recipes. Until now. Master Mixologist Juyoung Kang, developed a new seasonal cocktail named in honor of LEAF^® Vodka. With a touch of herbal spice, tart and sweet bitterness, it will start the season in a refreshing way.

“The herbs, spices and flowers bring out the pure mineral smoothness of the Rocky Mountain mineral water used to make LEAF Vodka,” said Kang. “The effervescence from the ginger beer adds a refreshing quality that makes this cocktail an easy sipper.”

Tools needed: Mixing shaker tins, jigger, strainer, and muddler. 
Glassware: Collins

LEAF Vodka uses naturally-sourced waters which are fundamental to its taste and quality. I received two bottles: One made from Alaskan Glacial Waters and one made using Rocky Mountain Mineral Waters. I’d never heard of organic vodka before – have you?

Samples received for consideration.
