Tru or False?

The Bite:
imageThere's smooth organic vodka made locally. True. Tru Vodka, that is. Play out your wildest cocktail fantasies with this Monrovia-based company’s Lemon, Vanilla, or Straight flavors. We got a nice, mellow buzz off two vodka-mojito-esque Peachys on the rocks (vanilla Tru, ripe peach, lime, mint, and splash of soda). Too foo-foo? Try the easy-to-drink Dirty, Dirty, Dirty martini or a grilled cocktail. Yep, grilled: This trend-in-the-making will raise the bar at your summer cookouts – just grill your farmers market tomatoes for a flavorful twist on the Bloody Mary. Tru’s certified-organic ingredients keep its wheat-based vodkas free of chems from field to bottle, and it plants a tree through orgs such as Sustainable Harvest for every bottle you buy. We still have some left. False.
Wanna Try: 
Tru Vodka (626-771-9469); available at Bristol Farms, $35/750 milliliters; Tru seasonal cockails, available at Akasha, $12-$14.

Cocktail Fact

Since early production methods for vodka were crude, distillers often flavored their vodka with fruit, herbs, or spices to mask impurities. (Now we just do it for fun.)

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters enjoy two organic vodka drinks instead of ones made with conventional vodka, we'll avert eight martini glasses' worth of pesticides from pouring into the environment.
