Organic Cocktails

The “farm to table” movement has grown leaps and bounds over the past 5 years. Not only are these creations seen in homes and restaurants, but also they are emerging full force in the bar and spirits world. Mixologists and bartenders are going back to the basics. Classic cocktails are either being mixed using the original recipe or they are being tweaked ever so slightly with a respectful nod to the original. The Garden Mary and The Classically Organic Martini, are prime examples that use American Harvest Vodka, an organic vodka from Idaho, and numerous products grown and preserved right here at Blackberry Farm.

The Garden Mary cocktail is infused with fresh herbs from the garden to give the vodka an earthy and herbal flavor. When this is combined with Blackberry’s amazing Bloody Mary mix, sliced radishes and pickled okra, it creates a perfect way to begin the day here on the farm.

Garden Mary

1.5 ounces Garden Infused Organic Vodka
2 Dashes of Fee Bros. Whiskey Barrel Aged Bitters
Bloody Mary mix
Sliced Radish
Pickled Okra cut in half
Celery stalk w/ fresh thyme

In a mason jar filled with ice, fill it half way with the Bloody Mary mix. Add the vodka and radish. Fill the rest of the way with Bloody Mary mix. Add the dashes of bitters and then stir to mix. Garnish with a celery stalk, fresh thyme and pickled okra cut in half.


The Classically Organic Martini, is a wonderful way to relax in the afternoon or start your evening cocktailing before dinner. Originally the martini cocktail was made with equal parts of vodka or gin and vermouth. This cocktail stays true to that method and adds more flavors by garnishing with 3 olives stuffed with Blackberry Farm Ramp Jam, Smoked Onion Jam and Blue Cheese.

The Classically Organic Martini
3 ounces American Harvest Organic Vodka
1.5 ounces Dolin Blanc Vermouth
2 dashes of Bitter Truth Orange Bitters
1 Olive stuffed with Blackberry Farm Ramp Jam
1 Olive stuffed with Blackberry Farm Blue Cheese
1 Olive stuffed with Blackberry Farm Smoked Onion Jam

In a mixing tin filled with ice, add the vodka, vermouth, and bitters. Stir until cold and then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish the cocktail with the stuffed olives on a cocktail pick.
