Should You Be Switching to Drinking Organic Vodka?
You might associate Vodka with Russia. However, we have a new favorite and it’s called Ocean Vodka and it comes from Maui in the United States. The family who started this company have lived in Hawaii for three generations, and their love of their home and desire for eco-friendly and sustainable products led them to produce Ocean Vodka starting in 2015.
Oceans Vodka Ingredients
The ingredients of this vodka really set it apart from similar products that you can purchase anywhere else. For instance, you won’t find any gluten in your bottle. You also won’t find GMOs, herbicides, or pesticides.
In addition, the company is the only one in the world that draws up deep-sea mineral water from the ocean and only uses organic sugar cane in production. Before they distill this vodka, they remove salt from the water but leave in other minerals, like potassium, magnesium, and calcium. This gives the final product a depth of flavor that is hard to match. Enjoy Ocean’s vodka for a clean and tasty drink.
Oceans Vodka Calories
You’ll also be happy to know that you can enjoy Oceans Vodka has part of your health diet in modest amounts. Each shot only has about 56 calories. Of course, you might add additional calories if you prefer to make cocktails with your vodka with certain mixers. If you choose some sensible mixers, it’s not likely that you’ll get fat from enjoying a shot or two of Oceans Vodka each day.
Oceans Vodka Recipes
These are some delicious and refreshing vodka recipes that actually contain healthy and fairly low-calorie ingredients:

4 Shots of Tomato Juice or V8 Vegetable Juice
1 Lemon Wedge
1 Stalk of Celery
Squirt of Tabasco sauce
Squirt of Worcestershire Sauce
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Sprig of Celery
Simply blend all of the ingredients except the lemon wedge and the stalk of celery in a chilled glass. Add a squirt of lemon juice from the wedge and then put the wedge on the side of the glass. Sick in the celery stick as a garnish and serve.
This recipe can serve one or two people. Add ice if you prefer. One good trick is to make an extra batch of this recipe and freeze it in ice cube trays. That way, the drink won’t get diluted as the ice melts.
Light Cola Black Russian Drink
This is a cola-based version of the famous black Russian drink. If you want to spare some calories from the recipe, you can go ahead and use diet soda. Simply mix one shot of vodka with four ounces of vodka in a chilled glass. Then add another shot of coffee. Serve over ice. It’s a great, refreshing drink on a hot day.
Tropical Vodka Cooler
Since Ocean Vodka comes from Hawaii, it’s only fair to celebrate the spirit with a tropical drink. The company suggests mixing this vodka with juice from pineapples, mangoes, and other tropical fruit. Add a couple of shakes of ginger for a zesty flavor if you like. Typically, measure about 1 shot of vodka to four ounces of juice, but you can adjust this to your own taste.
