Introducing the Summer Sipper of the Week: a feature cocktail recipe from the distillers for the drinkers.
Women are raising the bar in the Northwest! In this issue’s column, we celebrate our innovative and spirited women who are shaking up the norm in a historically male-dominated industry. We are shining a spotlight on three female distillery founders who are true pioneers and sources of inspiration for women everywhere, and their products are as delicious as they are unique.
Northwest Distillery’s Lavish Vodka
Truly flavorful vodka is a rare and wonderful treat for mixing. Fitting this profile is the lovely and luxurious Lavish vodka, made by Northwest Distillery, the Warren, Oregon-based company owned and operated by Meghan Zonich. The label touts “Filled With Good Intentions” and makes for a great name for our featured cocktail.
When the sun starts to shine, the season calls for bright flavors. In the Good Intentions cocktail, vine ripe raspberries are shaken with Lavish vodka and broVo Spirits Pretty Vermouth. Fresh and spirit-forward, this cocktail is perfect as a patio sipper.
