EastSide Distilling very own Portland Potato Vodka was my first choice to create the finsh party cocktail. EastSide based out of Portland oregon and a sponsor for Hood to Coast wanted a cocktail that would not only taste deliciouis but also have some health benefits. I headed down to my local markety and pickewd up some fresh fruits and vegtables. Here is what we came up with.

The Portland Potato Vodka has a crisp cleane taste. A silky smooth finish and notes of vanilla. Pepery notes from the arugula and refreshing taste of the celery.

Preperation: For this cocktail you will need Limes, Srtock of celery or if you can find it Celery juice. I hear Trader Joe’s has some. 1 Bag of Arugula, sugar, Green Chartreuse and Portland Vodka.
