Bonus:
Don’t want to eat oysters, no problem – guests can drink oysters with the unique twist of The Industrious Spirit Company’s Ostreida, the first US vodka distilled with fresh oysters! To create Ostreida, the ISCO team performed a distillation using 100% organic corn neutral spirit and just-hauled-from-the-sea local oysters. Ostreida Oyster Vodka captures the spirit of the ocean—notes of salty seacoast and savory minerality with a subtle hint of bivalve bouquet on the nose mix sublimely with their spirits’ signature buttery texture. Pair with fresh oysters, Castlevetrano olives, a little bit of ice, and enjoy! ISCO also donates a portion of sales from each bottle of Ostreida to GreenWave.org, an organization that trains and supports ocean farmers in the era of climate change, working with coastal communities to create a blue economy.
