Looking Back

I know we're past our vodka installment but, I found this today and really love it. It's a little house by Alexander Brodsky and it's sole purpose is to drink vodka inside. I wish we could of had out launch party here.

 We apologize for the novelty internet cat image. We couldn't help ourselves. On that note! 

Press Pass

We have had so much fun hearing and seeing good feedback from the launch of our first vodka infusion installment. Word around the campfire is someone shared their installment with the woman who owns Victor's and she loved the vodka infusion. Also, much love to
LOL/OMG and L'etoile for their shout outs!

L'etoile link. 

Another link was up on the world-wide trends site, NOTCOT, as well.

 We're so happy people have been enjoyed our first installment and even more excited to get started on our second, a literary magazine! More on that to come.

Ready To Distribute

Yay! It's here, it's finally here! We are ready to distribute our very first Seasaw installment.

 

 

The Process

Step 1: Squeak it clean.

We used piping hot water and the finest soap to ensure extreme cleanliness.

The rather large tub is gently scrubbed with the utmost care.

Step 2: assemble ingredients to form the mis en place. In this case we have used Organic Medjool Dates, Madagascar Vanilla and our favorite infusion vodka; Svedka.

Step 3: Place the ingredients in the vodka.

It really is this simple.

Step 4: Done.

Bottling and filtering are the final step but we must wait a short period of time until it is just right.!

Phoenix dactylifera

Last week two new vodka infusions were introduced: date and vanilla. Surprisingly date was overall favored by tasters. We decided to proceed with infusing vodka with dates.
Apparently there are no real appetizing photos of dates on the internet. So, I found this photo of dates pre-sun before they get shriveled up and look like a fat raisin. Dates (latin name Phoenix dactylifera) are an important traditional crop in Turkey, Iraq, Arabia and north Africa west to Morocco. Dates are also cultivated in southern California, Arizona and southern Florida in the United States. According to a study, "dates may be considered as an almost ideal food, providing a wide range of essential nutrients and potential health benefits." With that we decided to infuse it in vodka. 

The Results Are In!

Here are the terribly scientific results from the last vodka tasting. Our special friend decided to draw pictures that represented how he felt about the vodka flavor.  It seems that pear came out on top but, we've got a brand new recipe that we're working with and will be posting with more information soon.
