Came across this super tasty vodka, and what could be better than finding an eco-friendly cocktail! It truly is a very smooth vodka too, I will be making this my number one choice from now on! It comes in three flavors so far, I’ve only tried the regular, but it also comes in Double Chocolate (yum!) and Cola (interesting!?). You can send back the spring top in their postage paid envelope, and they will donate $1 to environmental causes. They have a list on their site of where to buy, but it is not complete, so check your local or specialty liquor stores, and if they don’t carry it, ask that they do! Here is a quote from the website, showing a bit of what they are working on to be kinder to the world…
“In addition to plans for other environmentally friendly products, McCormick Distilling is taking the following actions towards improving our collective environmental impact:
- Daily recycling of paper, printer toner and ink cartridges, cardboard, PET strapping material, plastic, shrink-wrap, aluminum cans and glass.
- Addition of an on-site recycling center.
- A number of our printers and fax machines have been configured to save paper by printing double sided.
- Installed CFL bulbs where possible and all computer & small appliances purchased are energy star rated.
- Eliminated paper towels, polystyrene utensils and beverage cups from our break rooms.
- Plastic wrapping bags, discarded from received shipments, are reused as trash bags.
- Any packaging or manufacturing equipment that can be reused or recycled is sent back to the OEM for expressly that purpose.
- Used oil generated from preventative maintenance is collected and sent to Safety Kleen for refinement and reuse.
We are also investigating other certifications and recognized EPA guidelines that we may be able to implement, further reaffirming our commitment to continuous improvements in meeting and exceeding environmental standards.
At McCormick Distilling Company, we realize the path to widespread eco-friendliness is not a journey completed in one leap. It is done step-by-step and day-by-day. We have accomplished a great deal, but there is still more work to be done and steps to be taken.
And so, we encourage all corporations, organizations and individuals to join us in taking whatever steps we can towards realizing a better, “greener” tomorrow for us all.”
I’ll drink to that!
