MIX IT UP

BELVEDERE INTENSE UNFILTERED 80 VODKA

Unflavored and presenting more of the original flavor from what it’s made, the taste of Intense Unfiltered comes from Polish rye but it’s not filtered or polished. So it’s easy to drink with a clean finish as we’ve come to expect from vodka. Because Belvedere Intense Unfiltered has so many subtle flavors, there is a lot to work with when making cocktails. The brand was recently launched in Portland with a cocktail competition and the Choco-Nut Cozy, a hot cocktail created by Jenn Hegstrom from Pope House Bourbon Lodge, was one of the most delicious.

BAKON VODKA

An award winning vodka that tastes like Bacon. Yum! “This is the only vodka you’ll ever want to use to make a Bloody Mary, and it works well in both sweet and savory drinks”, says co-founder Sven Liden. “Bakon Vodka is also a great barbeque companion, used as a marinade or sipped chilled with a steak.”

ADULT CHOCOLATE MILK

Tracy Reinhardt, a busy mom of two, created the delicious adult version of her favorite classic drink in her kitchen.“When I created Adult Chocolate Milk, I didn’t want to be like every other vodka on the market. I’m no mixologist, so I didn’t want to have to buy several bottles or ingredients, I wanted a truly delicious pour and serve drink!” She and co-founder, and former high school classmate, Nikki Halbur reunited on Facebook shortly thereafter to create this 40-proof vodka beverage made from a variety of premium ingredients sold in a retro-chic glass bottle with a swing top closure.
