Iron Bartender Seeks Greatness with ORGANIC NATION Spirits
On October 13, bartenders from around the Portland area came together to compete for the title of "Iron Bartender" and to raise money for the Children's Relief Nursery. At their disposal was some of Oregon's finest distilled spirits, including ORGANIC NATION's Vodka. The event raised over $40,000 for the Children's Relief Nursery. Cascade Peak Spirits Distillery is delighted that one of their products can help an organization which provides counseling and support for children who have been the victims of abuse and neglect. Next time you are sipping on an ORGANIC NATION martini you can feel like you, too, are doing your part by choosing to support an organic distillery that has heart!

American Craft Vodkas
SAVEUR Magazine recently did a tasting of American Craft Distilled Spirits. They were joined by Alexis Kahn, Director of Beverage Services at The French Culinary Institute in NYC and Ethan Kelley, founder of Drink Straight, to sample "...an impressive lineup of American Craft Vodkas..."
Organic Nation vodka was one of their favorites: "With a silky mouthfeel, a slight sweetness, and a smooth kick on the finish, Cascade Peak Spirit's Organic Nation Vodka goes nicely with herbaceous and citrus flavors."
They developed a crafty cocktail: Celery Cider with O-N. Check out issues #136 & 137 of SAVEUR for more information.

Weekend Cocktail: Pink Gin
A long time classic, Pink Gin has also been known as a Gin & Bitters. For lack of a more complicated cocktail, thats just what it is, Gin and Bitters. Originally created by the Royal Navy to make Angostura bitters, which they used for medicinal purposes for the sailors, more palatable.
After searching I found the cocktail also referred to as "Gin Pahit" in many 19th century sailing stories.
This is the virtually the same drink, only the name has been lost in time. According to stories 'pahit'is Malay for "bitters." No matter the name, the cocktail has more or less remained the same.
Enjoyed best with a botanical rich Gin, hence my selection of this cocktail for our Organic Gin, shaken well with ice.
Cheers!

Taking Chocolate to new extremes
Extreme Chocolates is a quality based confection and patisserie company that just keeps pushing the envelope!
Flavors run amok, ideas whirl uncontrolled and the result is a fabulous chaos. They explore how to take a conventional product and take them over the edge! Owner and Chef/Chocolatier, Carrie Wong, has been a fan and advocate of our products since we met at the Oregon Chocolate Festival at the Ashland Springs Hotel, Mar. 2009. At the time, she was using an imported French vodka. Once we introduced ourselves, chatted about local, organic, it was an easy sale and Carrie and Organic Nation started doing business. It is great to collaborate with another Oregon business to create a superior product that supports the Oregon economy. And yes we LOVE her chocolates!
According to Carrie Wong, Founder/CEO: "We grabbed the best Organic Vodka Produced in Oregon – Organic Nation- and began producing the finest slow brewed vanilla extract with amazing results – and that’s not just our opinion, Gourmet Magazine agrees! Now, we have released the creative juices once again and are brewing our own pure lemon extract in a base of Organic Nation premium Gin! Hang on – this one will rock your world! If we can create these items with a little great booze, vanilla beans and a lemon – imagine what we can do with chocolate! Oh My!"

Padron Cigar Infused Dark Chocolate Truffles

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo- Tequila Free
While some will frown upon the idea of not including tequila in every cocktail on this international celebration of Mexican independence, some of us just don't 'do' the agave based spirit. This year, try a cocktail that celebrates the traditional south of the border flavors sans the tequila.
To celebrate the victorious Battle of Puebla, toast this cocktail.
1862
1 ½ oz Organic Nation Gin
½ oz Lime Juice
1 oz Coconut Cream (sweetened)
- If you are using coconut milk, add 1 oz of heavy cream and ½ oz of Agave syrup.
Put ingredients in a pint, filled with ice, shake, pour into a Hurricane or Collins glass.
Garnish with lime twist.
If you are feeling like getting your hands dirty and want to wow your guests try this alternate version of the 1862
Whole coconut- chilled
Drill 2 holes in the top – with a power drill!
Add 2 oz of Organic Nation Gin – you will need a funnel, a flask funnel works well.

PORTLAND, OR - “Want to make a million selling violent video games to kids? Go for it. Want to make a million helping cure kids of cancer? You’re labeled a parasite. We allow people to make huge profits doing any number of things that will hurt the poor, but we want to crucify anyone who wants to make money helping them.” asserts Dan Pallotta, nonprofit leader, business owner and author of Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential.
Mr. Pallotta will be featured as Keynote Speaker at Springboard Innovation’s April 26th conference ReVisioning Value 2010 (ReVV 2010): A Conference at the intersection of Purpose and Profit in Portland, Oregon.
