St. George Green Chile Vodka (750ml)

Roasted green chile meets vodka clarity in this Alameda, California, made spirit from St. George Spirits. Rather than a candy-sweet infusion, this is a savory, vegetable-forward take on flavored vodka: the roasted poblano and Hatch chile character reads almost like a broth, with genuine heat and umami depth beneath the neutral spirit base.

Expect a grassy, slightly smoky palate with a genuine chile bite on the finish, this works best in a Bloody Mary or paired with Mexican cuisine, though it can also be sipped neat as a spicy aperitif. It's the kind of flavored spirit that tastes like it was made for a specific reason, not as an afterthought.
