Today is Earth Day, and in its honor, farm-to-table institution Blue Hill is serving up some seriously good – and good for Mother Nature – cocktails.
Created by bartender Weisi Li, the featured cocktails are made from seasonal ingredients and feature American Harvest, a 100% organic vodka handcrafted in small batches from organic wheat on a sustainably managed farm in Rigby, Idaho. Throughout production, American Harvest adheres to strict guidelines including:
- Sustainable Agriculture: The producers of American Harvest support sustainable agriculture by using organic, locally-sourced materials including water from aquifers deep beneath the Snake River plain – which gives a distinctly clean and crisp character.
- Wind Power: One-third of the monthly electrical consumption at the distillery comes from local wind generated power.
- Reuse & Repurpose: Unused materials from the distillation process are used as cattle feed.
- Recyclable Glass: American Harvest bottles are 100% recyclable and are coated and decorated with organic inks and water-soluble varnishes.
The Earth Day menu will include Li’s concoctions including A Tonic From The Garden with dill and fennel-infused vodka, Thatcher’s organic blood orange liqueur, sorrel leaves and Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic, the Spring Suite with vodka, spring pea puree, Meyer lemon marmalade and mint leaves and the Freshly Pick(l)ed, a blend of vodka, pickled green garlic juice and pickled beet juice.
