Less fruity?  Maker's Mark has gone green.  Their distillery sits on a state-certified nature preserve and has a state-of-the-art recycling and wastewater treatment. Recently, Maker’s Mark began using anaerobic digestion, a process that turns waste into bio-gas that is used for energy, offsetting up to 30 percent of the distillery’s natural gas use.  So use Maker's Mark in a traditional Manhattan, Old Fashioned or straight up for an instant sustainable drink.  Check out markersmark.com for those classic recipes.

For a great non-alcoholic beverage or a nice mixer, try Steaz Organic Green Tea Soda (plus their website is tres cool.)  Their alternative soda flavors will hit the spot, like key lime or raspberry. www.steaz.com
