Cool Hunting
For those who like to whip up a cocktail — but don't have the space for all of the ingredients and accoutrement required for a wasabi Bloody Mary on the fly — there are more and more respectable mixers on the market. A new addition taking it an organic step further is Modmix, a three-woman partnership in West Hollywood that recently unveiled an organic line of mixers.
There's already been plenty of buzz; Modmix was the mixer of choice at this year's Sundance Film Festival, if that's any indication. Judging it on its flavor combos alone — from the Citrus Margarita to the Pomegranate Cosmopolitan — it's definitely worth a sample.
The Modmix line is available online from BTC Elements for $13 per bottle or check the site for a list of stores in your area.

For an unconventional New Year's toast, we can't think of a better option than Marumoto Brewery's Hou Hou Shu, a sparkling unfiltered Junmaishu sake. Tim and I first sampled it when we visited NYC's tofu restaurant Kyotofu and loved the light, slightly sweet flavor and gentle, natural carbonation which makes for a drinking experience very similar to champagne. At only 6% alcohol, the fruity...

by Laura Neilson For those who prefer an "Appletini" that doesn't conjure a Jolly Rancher, Harvest Spirits' Core Apple Vodka is produced from real Hudson Valley apples (not potatoes or corn), and the flavor is far more delicate and subtle than most apple-infused spirits on the market. Small-batch production began this spring when Derek Grout of Golden Harvest Orchards, opted to opted to make more...
