St.Patty’s Day Cocktails from
OceanV

By Maralyn D. Hill
With March being the month of shamrocks and St. Patty’s Day, it seem
appropriate to feature some green drinks. Last May, I was first introduced
to Ocean Vodka. Since they were kind enough to do some special cocktails
for us last month, who better to ask for March? Truthfully, I can enjoy a
good mojito any time of year.
My husband Norm and I enjoyed the organic vodka and thoroughly found
visiting the facility on Maui amazing. In addition to it being a family affair,
three generations of the Smith family have grown up on Maui. The water
used in the vodka comes from 3,000 feet below the big island of Hawaii.
When brought to the surface, it’s organically purified. Rather than go on
about the Ocean Vodka’s history, let’s get to the cocktails. You can read
more in depth about this organic product on their website. I just wanted to
give you a little background to intrigue you to discover more.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
