American Harvest Organic Spirit
If sustainability matters to you, consider American Harvest Organic Spirit, an organic vodka hand-crafted in small batches and distilled from organic winter wheat grown on a family-owned farm in Rigby, Ida.
A tasting, held Monday by wine and spirits wholesaler Glazer's at Cajun's Wharf, revealed that the vodka has a clean, crisp taste that makes it well suited for martinis or consumption on the rocks as well as in other mixed drinks.
Suggested retail price is $24.99 for a 750 ml bottle.
According to the company's website:
Along with using it in classic vodka drinks such as vodka tonics and bloody Marys, try making a Southern Harvest:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into a couple glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Take one last run in your beloved old running shoes, then recycle them to help area charities from 1-3 p.m. Sunday at Scott Field.
A Mile in Their Shoes, an annual running/walking shoe donation drive, invites you to run or walk one last mile in your beloved shoes, then donate them to area charities.
Children's shoes are especially needed.
It's happening from 1-3 p.m. Sunday (Jan. 29) at Scott Field at Forest Heights Middle School, 5901 Evergreen St., Little Rock, where there will be dropoff boxes to collect the donated shoes. Donations of running apparel are also welcome.
Sarah Olney and Mary Wells, organizers of the Little Rock Roadrunners Club Running Reshoe program, began recycling running shoes in 2007 and have donated more than 500 pairs to organizations such as Our House, The Van, CASA, local high schools, the homeless and many others.
Olney and Wells ask that you remove laces and wash shoes to be donated in a washing machine on a cold temperature setting. Set out shoes to air dry (using a dryer is not recommended), then relace.
If you can't make it to the Sunday event, bring your donations of shoes and running gear to Go! Running, 1819 Grant St., Little Rock.
For more information call Erin Taylor at (501) 813-7155 or Sarah Olney at (501) 615-3344.
