Can true love start a business? You be the judge.

 

Melkon Khosrovian has long enjoyed Sunday meals with family, sipping vodka with spicy grilled meats and Mediterranean salads.

 

Melkon's wife, Litty Mathew, a foodie with a classical French cooking education, hated the taste and burn of straight liquor.

 

So he concocted little vodka infusions with fruits, spices and even tea that she could sip at family meals. She not only drank them, she enjoyed them.

 

Soon the couple's friends who also disliked the taste of hard liquor—including a few burly cousins who will remain unnamed—clamored for their own signature flavors.

 

Melkon infused celery and fennel seed for one, lavender and honey for another and an inspired chocolate-orange vodka after a party faux pas where he spilled a box of chocolates.

 

Soon after, Modern Spirits was born. An act of love, don't you think?
