Your car isn’t green enough. Your light bulbs aren’t green enough. Your vacation isn’t green enough. And now, thanks to Plenty Magazine, you can worry that your cocktail isn’t green enough. Want to add ecococktails to your repertoire as well as to your worry list? According to Plenty, an ecococktail uses organic alcohol, or perhaps a brand of liquor that donates to rain forest rehabilitation. The mag even recommends an organic orange liqueur to use in your margarita popsicles. Or should that be ecosicles?
The article’s heart is in the right place, and the drink recipes actually look appealing enough. Can’t we just leave eco off of some things, though? It’s enough to induce green fatigue (registration required). Which really makes me want a drink. Maybe a Sourtoe.
I’m about 99% sure that some of the organic spirits brands listed in the Plenty Magazine article (including the orange liqueur) are not available in the U.S. There are, however, additional organic brands available here which were not mentioned in the magazine.
