Garden to Glass in the New Year: Ocean Glow Organic Juice Drinks

It's that time of year again...a new year! It's a great time to set resolutions and re-commit to practices that help you feel happy and healthy.

Local, organic, sustainable. For Ocean Vodka, our resolutions include continuing to focus on the "green" practices that are so important to our brand, from seed to finished spirit. With that in mind, Ocean Vodka has joined with local organic farmer and Glow Juice Maui owner Craig King to present some "fit and fresh" juice recipes that are not just delicious but nutritious as well!

To be enjoyed with or without Ocean Vodka, these organic, gluten free, mineral rich, nutrient dense juices of goodness bring the Ocean Glow to you. We designed them using ingredients from the Ocean Vodka Organic Farm and Distillery: fresh sugarcane juice, and strawberry and lavender from our Martini Garden. Combined with local fruits and vegetables from the rich soils of Maui, including coconut, celery, parsley, cilantro, cucumbers, passionfruit, ginger, pineapple, papaya and more, these libations are sure to bring on your glow in the New Year.

Did you know freshly extracted juices contain live enzymes and nutrients that are easily absorbed by the body for quick nourishment? Working synergistically, the nutrients in these juices provide a supremely health-promoting food and have been studied for their roles in fighting cancer, stabilizing blood sugar levels in diabetics, assisting in weight loss and a host of other health benefits. "Juicing is by far the most effective delivery system for nutrients," says Glow Juice Maui Founder Craig King. "The key is in the bio-availability of juices, immediately restoring and replenishing so that we can achieve great vitality!"

We are proud to be harvesting organic sugar cane at the Ocean Vodka Organic Farm and Distillery, and to be the only vodka in the world made with organic sugar cane and deep ocean mineral water. As a member of the grass family, sugarcane juice has a high potency equivalent to wheatgrass juice. Sugarcane is rich in calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium and zinc. It also contains iron and vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6, plus a high concentration of phytonutrients (including chlorophyll), antioxidants, proteins, soluble fiber and numerous other health supportive compounds.

Enjoy these juices straight up or dash with Ocean Vodka- it's the New Year, and your preference! Simply add 1.5 oz of Ocean Vodka to the below juices and voila! Oceanized.
