ABOUT FINLANDIA VODKA
Finlandia Vodka’s exceptional smoothness and clarity can be attributed to only the finest of nature’s ingredients; pure glacial spring water and Suomi barley. The barley offers high quality starch and low content of natural oils, delivering a crisp, pure taste. Finlandia Vodka was one of the first premium vodkas to introduce flavors from nature with the launch of Finlandia Cranberry in 1994. Since then, Finlandia has introduced eight additional fresh tasting flavors to the portfolio. For vodka lovers looking for unmatched strength and purity, the portfolio also offers Finlandia 101, characterized by extra intensity of taste (limited markets only).

ABOUT THE PATHFINDER HEMP AND ROOT
The Pathfinder Hemp and Root is a hemp based, non-alcoholic spirit, fermented and distilled to deliver the intense flavor and aromatic characteristics of a spirit with none of the harmful effects of alcoholic beverages.
The Pathfinder is steeped in the rich history of the American West with a liquid that is just as wild as the landscape and the people that inhabited it. Inspired by the age of apothecaries and the homemade remedies often employed by pioneers’ homesteaders and snake oil salesmen alike, Hemp and Root equally hearkens to a bygone age as it raises the standard of flavor and quality in non-alcoholic spirits with an eye to the future.
In drinks, The Pathfinder behaves like a spirit and can be served in coffee, sipped neat, served on the rocks, or used as the base of a cocktail. In other words, it fits right into the back bar of your favorite bar or cafe as well as it does your home bar cart.

ABOUT BABA’S ACID TRIP
Our Acid Trip begins where our kombucha ends. Acid Trip is a living vinegar that has journeyed through many realms of fermentation, and the rewards are plentiful. Carefully curating our kombucha over many months and allowing the SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) to convert any residual sugars into acetic and other organic acids, helps to create our vibrant kombucha vinegar. In addition to these healthy acids, kombucha vinegar is also rich in probiotics and antioxidants from the green and black tea that form the backbone of our original kombucha brew. With a lower overall acidity (~3% vs 5-7%) than other vinegar varieties, kombucha vinegar is a bright, flavorful ingredient that will bring a zing to any dish or drink that you can dream up.
