St. George Spirits Green Chile Vodka bring vibrant freshness to classic cocktails

Flavored spirits are taking over the shelf. While there are sweet infusions in the whiskey space, spice is taking over other avenues. Without overpowering the palate, a touch of heat can add enjoyment to the sip. More importantly, it can expand creativity when shaking up some classic cocktails. From brunch to cocktail hour, St. George Spirits Green Chile Vodka offers endless opportunities to amplify the drinking enjoyment.

Flavored vodkas tend to embrace fruit flavors. Citrus options are common. There are even sweeter fruit choices. While these bottles work well in a martini or a simple combination with a tonic, sometimes drinkers want a spicier choice.

With the St. George Spirits Green Chile Vodka, the spirit brings a boldness to the bottle. Made with a combination of sweet and hot peppers, there is a layered effect with the combination of ingredients. The California-grown peppers include jalapenos, serranos, habaneros, red bell peppers and yellow bell peppers. While the heat is apparent, it is that touch of sweetness which makes this spiced vodka an easy sipper.

Recently, at home mixologists are looking to mix up the spirit in their favorite or classic cocktails. Going into summer months, some people will happily switch this flavorful vodka for tequila or mezcal in a margarita, paloma or other refreshing summer cocktail. The combination of sour, sweet, and spicy feels like a cool breeze on a hot day.

For brunch, the St. George Spirits Green Chile Vodka is delightful in a Bloody Mary. The depth of flavor in this vodka can play off the garnishes on the Bloody Mary. Even consider adding a herbal/flavored ice cube to the mix. For example, flavored ice cubes can ensure that a cocktail does not become watered down for the final sip.

Since opening a bottle of St. George Green Chile Vodka invites a playful afternoon behind the bar, it is even more exciting to explore some different combinations. From pineapple to mango to cucumber, the options are many.

For example, a mangonada tends to feature tajin, but the idea of spice and mango can apply in another way. By using a little mango juice, the St. George Spirits Green Chili Vodka, and a bottle of QMixers tonic, it is a simple, yet delightful sipper. The idea can be elevated in a variety of other ways. And, even consider serving this beverage with some chips and a mango salsa.

A similar idea can be enjoyed with pineapple juice. The sweetness of the pineapple plays off the warmth of the chiles in the vodka, just like a pineapple salsa.

If floral notes are preferred, a touch of elderflower liqueur with this vodka and a little tonic can be lovely for a lighter note. Given that peppers have a little floral to the spice, it can be fun to play off the other flavors.

For a completely different take on dessert cocktail, consider swapping in the St. George Spirits Green Chile Vodka in an espresso martini. Chocolate, coffee, and spice often work well together. Basically, there are a plethora of options to use up that bottle.

St. George Spirits Green Chile Vodka has a 40% ABV and a suggested retail price of $30. Check with the brand for retailers.
