Overview

Join us for a spring virtual mixology session with Upstate Vodka. Handcrafted in small batches and all-natural, this award winning vodka is Certified Gluten-Free and Kosher. Every bottle contains 70-80 apples from local New York state farms. Macerated, distilled, and bottled under one roof, Upstate has a unique, light, crisp mouthfeel. Upstate Vodka's mixologist Will Hadjigeorgalis will join us and create 3 new cocktail recipes that are simple and easy to make and will stun at your next party.

Made from NY State Apples

  • Upstate vodka is living proof that you can create an outstanding vodka from apples. Grain-based vodka may be cheaper to produce, but for them, quality is what’s important.
  • It is an excellent choice for drinking over ice.
  • Purchase Upstate Vodka here. Save $5 with promo code CRUSH5OFF. Also, complimentary shipping when you buy two bottles or more.

Go to Drinks for Spring

  • Their vision was to create delightful cocktails for the home cocktail enthusiasts that are looking to push their skills a bit to produce crowd-pleasing stunners that will delight friends or family.
  • Veteran mixologist Will Hadjigeorgalis will introduce this premium spirit made 100% from NY State apples. And he will teach us how to make three (3) delicious spring cocktails.
