ROOT organic spirits and Woodland Bop flasks/cozies

Hello again, and welcome to Goat City. There is a fall nip in the air, and we lit our first fire of the season while tuned in to an episode of 'Lewis' on public television. The only thing missing was some kinda grog or hot toddy...well, there is a new, organic hand-crafted booze, safe for the gluten-free diet from a Native American recipe called ROOT.



Looks nice, doesn't it?
Here's what they say about it on the interwebs:

“At 80 proof, ROOT is unlike anything else on the market today and is the first true American liqueur since the Pre-Prohibition Era.

It is lively, and rose gold in color, this rustic spirit has a full, rich smoky flavor, inspired by an 18th century Pennsylvania folk recipe, which eventually evolved into Birch or Root Beer. The recipe stems from Root Tea, which goes back to the 1700s, when Native Americans taught the recipe to settlers. Over generations, Root Tea grew in potency, particularly in Pennsylvania, where the ingredients grew in abundance. During the Temperance Movement, a Philadelphia pharmacist removed the alcohol and ironically rechristened it Root Beer. This is our creation and interpretation of a genuine potent, Root Tea.

ROOT is a certified organic spirit made with North American herbs and pure cane sugar. All botanicals are painstakingly selected and tested for purity. Using all natural, organic ingredients, like anise, birch bark, cloves and cardamom, with hints of spearmint and citrus, the sugarcane based liquor is distilled in limited batches to ensure maximum quality.”

Do not fret if you don't live in PA. You can order it here.

I am excited to try this. It is meant to be drunk neat or mixed into a cocktail (I can see this going nicely with Reed's Ginger Brews), or in a hot toddy with some maple syrup, as the nice people at Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction in Philadelphia recommend.

Here at Goat City, we might humbly suggest ordering one of our Woodland Bop flasks/cozies -- a 4 oz stainless steel flask in a lovingly handmade cozy, made from recycled fabrics, vintage buttons and crocheted toggle closures, so they're snug and inconspicuous, yet your flask remains accessible for refills of ROOT, etc. Here's a peek:

I would be delighted to fill your order and can customize color scheme, etc.

Thanks for stopping by Goat City. Enjoy the fall weather with some ROOT! We will be having a sampling party soon, and we will let ya know how it goes down.
