"CounterRestaurant" news and stories

Organic martini. Is that an oxymoron?

If you are going to travel down the organic food road, why not embrace it whole hog and order your drinks organic as well? In most areas such commitment to eating and drinking clean is not an option, but in several New York eateries, organic drinks are moving into the mainstream.

The whole concept of organic alcohol might seem a bit off, after all the idea behind alcohol is to create a concoction that might not be pure in its intentions -albeit an often tasty and comforting one. But the movement behind bringing alcohol into the organic realm involves using ingredients and spirits distilled from grains, fruit or sugarcane that have been certified organic. One restaurant that is on the forefront of the clean drink movement is Counter, an East Village vegetarian-slash-vegan bistro. The eatery has always served organic food and when the restaurant decided to start serving liquor the logical choice was to pursue organic spirits as well.
