The Bite:
Go home...to your liquor cabinet filled with organic spirits. Check 'em out next time you're stocking your home bar, and remember: Liquor before beer, you're in the clear.
Still thirsty after last call?

The Benefits:
- Delicious inebriation. These are some unique and tasty spirits - great for kicking it at home, pregaming, or pouring into flasks you're sneaking into the midnight screening of Rocky Horror.
- Cheers to the planet. Every time you buy an organic liqueur, you're supporting sustainable farming practices.
Personally Speaking:
Jen puts a little organic scotch in her flask and sneaks it into her saddlebag on chilly days when she's out on the range.
Wanna Try:
- Benromach Speyside - rad, rich, malty traditional scotch ($75/750 mL).
- Veev Liqueur - made with açai and prickly pear extract, which may lead to gentler hangovers; tastes smoother than vodka and is great with ginger ale and lime ($35/750 mL).
- Cassis au Cognac Roland Seguin - sugary, black currant liqueur that's big in France; we mix it with a little dry champagne on the rocks ($20/50 cL).
- Dwersteg Amaretto - sweet almond liqueur that goes great with sour mix ($18/50 cL).
Cocktail Fact
At 15.5 L (4 gal) per year, the average Luxembourger drinks more hard liquor than the citizens of any other country in the world (in the United States, it's 8.6 L, or 2.3 gal).
Bang For The Bite
Organic liqueurs aren't actually any healthier since the distilling process gets rid of pesticides in conventional alcohol, but these picks go down smooth, are easy on the planet, and are getting easier than ever to find.
