Dear Modern Spirits:
Happy new year from the "Fruit Lab!"
Thank you so much for being part of
the Modern Spirits Society. You've made our year by coming out to events around
the country. By sending emails with your favorite Modern Spirits recipes. And
sharing Modern Spirits with your friends. We're grateful for your friendship.
In 2007, nearly
each week brought exciting new developments...we could have made a good reality
TV show. Among the highlights were convincing the government to give us an
artisan designation so our labels read
Artisan Vodka right on the front, setting us apart from the slew of fakers
out there.
We also were the first spirits
company invited to host an all-vodka
pairing dinner at the James Beard House. It was a sold out event. Chef
Larry Nicola of
Nic's
Beverly Hills (have you been to his VodBox?) presented a
menu that highlighted how well spirits and food work together. There
were cocktails, straight pours and
Madame Chocolat even made chocolates with our black truffle
vodka.
And you know about our first seasonal
flavor,
Pumpkin Pie. It caused quite a stir around the country. And for you PETP
members (people for the ethical treatment of pies), we promise no pies were hurt
in the process. Does this mean there might be a cranberry vodka in the works for
next year's holidays? We'll have to wait and see. In the mean time, look for the
return of our
Rose Petal vodka as a seasonal flavor this January through Spring.
All
of this has made 2007 a wonderful year. We look forward to a great new year and wish you the very best of everything
in 2008!
Cheers,
Melkon and Litty
