Tasty Drink Ideas From Vodka 14

Just in time for the Fourth and what is promising to be a very warm summer, our friends at Vodka 14 have provided us with some summer drink ideas.

In case you haven't heard of it, Vodka 14 is made by Boulder's Altitude Spirits (a long-time Cairn supporter) and is an award winning USDA certified organic vodka.

Enjoy these cocktails and as always, drink responsibly!

Organic Lemon Drop: Mix 2 oz. of Vodka 14 with organic sparkling lemonade over crushed ice. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and fresh basil leaf sprigs for incredibly fresh taste and aroma.
