Good Land Organics + RND Vodka = Perfect Spring Cocktails

Written by Ann Shepphird

Two Santa Barbara institutions -- Good Land Organics and RND Vodka -- came together recently to create cocktails for a reception that was part of the city�s month-long Ecotopia celebration, and included many of the partners of Santa Barbara Car Free program, which offers discounts to those who make any part of their trip to the city sans car. To pair with the RND Vodka, Good Land Organics provided seasonal produce that included blood oranges for the blood orange martini (pictured left with Santa Barbara Car Free partner Lori LaRiva of SBCAG Traffic Solutions) and caviar limes for the Brazilian-inspired cairpirinha. Even better, they were nice enough to share the recipes. Enjoy!

0.5 oz. Triplesec
2 oz. blood orange juice
