Hump Day Happy Hour: "Green" Cocktails

360 green vodka cocktails
There really isn't anything that special about this following list of recipes for vodka cocktails, other than the eco-inspired names and the fact that they are made with 360 Vodka, a brand new, environmentally friendly premium vodka. 360 Vodka is made entirely from American grain and bottled using 85% recycled glass and biodegradable packaging. The manufacturer, McCormick, is setting aside $1 for every 360 Vodka bottle closure returned through its unique "360 Close the Loop" program that will allow it to support recognized environmental organizations. Recipes for Green Princess, Green-tini, Enviromintz, Green House Gas, and Eco-tini after the jump:


Green Princess
1½ oz. 360 Vodka
½ oz. Dry Vermouth
¼ oz. Green Charteuse
1 Lemon Peel

Green-tini
2 oz. 360 Vodka
1 ½ oz. Melon Liqueur
Shake with cracked ice and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with lime.

Greenhouse Gas

That would be impressive if they were only using grain within a certain close distance to the distillery. This will only be a green solution if the distillery is situated close to their grain source since the US is so large and most products are transported by road.

I think this would qualify as a green solution, since it does help in reducing the emission of fossil fuels during transportation.
