Great Summer Cocktail

There are hundreds of vodkas to choose from, and picking the right one can be confusing. The question to ask is, what is vodka’s most distinguishing characteristic and will it matter? Many experts agree that vodka’s most important ingredient is water. It’s the critical foundation that shapes the world’s favorite spirit.

Here in New Jersey, the newest entry onto the scene is LEAF Vodka, made in the USA and sourced from our very own unique waters. LEAF comes in two varieties; one is made from Alaskan Glacial water, which lends a pure, smooth taste to the vodka with a hint of sweetness. That taste has inspired a lovely summer cocktail called the Pink Glacier. It’s great for sipping with friends on a beautiful evening and is reminiscent of a summer sunset!

With a suggested price of $16.99 for 750ml bottle—and Certified USDA Organic — LEAF Vodka is an exciting new brand.

Ingredients:
2 oz. LEAF Vodka Made from Alaskan Glacial Water
1 oz. lime juice
3/4 oz. simple syrup
3/4 oz. pink grapefruit juice
1/2 oz. cranberry juice
1 lime wedge

In a cocktail shaker, combine grapefruit and lime juices, simple syrup, vodka and ice. Shake and strain into a martini glass. Add cranberry juice for color and garnish with lime.
