If you do a tasting tour, attend a special event, or just saddle up to the bar at Acre Distilling Co. (1309 Calhoun St, Fort Worth, 817-632-7722), there’s an added in-person experience to look forward to. Every so often, patrons get to meet distillery dog, Miss Addie. She’s kind of a big deal. Her face graces the bottle of a delicious flavored vodka named just for her.
Miss Addie’s Blackberry Sage Tea Vodka, a name that gives away the spirit’s profile, is one of their best-sellers and is on the bar menu at the distillery in cocktail, flight, and mule form. For those who want to beat the heat and take it easy at home during these #DogDaysOfSummer, bottles are available for purchase onsite, online, and at various Spec’s locations.
This vodka is flavored enough that a splash of club soda is all that’s needed. But what’s the fun in that? Instead, here are some simple drink recipes to try at home.
Blackberry Fizz: Combine 1 oz Miss Addie’s Vodka, 1 oz plain vodka, 1/2 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz simple syrup, and muddled blackberries in a glass, top with club soda, and garnish with a lime. (Recipe by Acre Distilling.)
Blackberry Sage Martini: Muddle 6 fresh blackberries and 6 sage leaves in a shaker. Add 2 oz Miss Addie’s Vodka, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1 oz simple syrup. Fill with ice, shake vigorously, and strain into a chilled martini glass. (Recipe from CocktailWave.com.)
