I already have enough post-martini guilt as it is, why create more? Instead, the next time I’m downing a Cosmo or a Manhattan, I’m going to reassure myself that while my liver and kidneys may be getting somewhat saturated with toxins, it could be worse: they could be getting saturated with genetically modified toxins!
So when it comes to vodka, I’m thinking I’ll go with either Reyka vodka, from Iceland (not too far from Canada) — it’s distilled using geothermal steam, which saves on electricity — or Square One, which is made from organic rye and comes in bottles with labels made from bamboo and other recyclable material.
There’s also Papagayo organic spiced rum (perfect for a dark ‘n’ stormy), Juniper Green gin and, well, I’m not a big scotch drinker so that about covers it.
Whether I’m at home or at the bar, from now on, I’m only drinking greentinis.
