Colorado Craft Vodka: From Rocky Mountain Water to Your Glass

Why buy a bottle of mass-produced vodka when there's a world of exceptional Colorado craft vodka just waiting to be discovered? Many Colorado Springs residents are missing out on the incredible flavors and stories behind locally distilled vodkas, often settling for whatever label catches their eye instead of experiencing the unique character the Rocky Mountains provide.

At Cheers Liquor Mart, we're passionate about connecting you with local distillers. Our staff takes pride in offering personalized recommendations based on your preferences, ensuring you'll discover the perfect Colorado vodka to suit your taste and occasion.

The Colorado Craft Vodka Renaissance

Colorado's craft distilling scene has exploded over the past decade, transforming it from a handful of pioneers to a vibrant community of creative spirits-makers.

What makes Colorado distillers stand out is their commitment to quality over quantity. While mass-market vodkas aim for consistency and neutrality, our local distillers often embrace subtle flavor characteristics that make each brand distinctive.

You'll find everything from incredibly smooth, clean vodkas perfect for martinis to more character-driven options that bring unexpected complexity to your favorite cocktails.

Notable Colorado Craft Vodka Distilleries

Spring44

Named after a pristine artesian spring in Colorado's Buckhorn Canyon, Spring44 creates vodkas with some of the purest mountain water available. Their commitment to quality is evident in every sip. Their products showcase how Colorado's natural resources directly translate to superior spirits.

Woody Creek Distillers

Located near Aspen, Woody Creek controls their vodka production from farm to bottle. They grow their own potatoes and distill them within 24 hours of harvest, a level of care almost unheard of in the industry. The result is a remarkably smooth vodka with subtle earthy notes that you won't find in mass-produced alternatives.

Breckenridge Distillery

Breckenridge Vodka is handcrafted in the highest distillery in America. Located at 9,728 feet in elevation, Breckenridge Distillery utilizes Rocky Mountain snowmelt and pristine Colorado grains to deliver an exceptionally smooth and clean-tasting experience.

Axe and the Oak

Another Colorado Springs gem, Axe and the Oak has won international awards for their whiskey and remarkable vodka. Their downtown location makes them part of the vibrant central scene that's redefining Colorado Springs' reputation as a craft beverage destination.

Perfect Pairings and Cocktail Ideas

Colorado craft vodkas shine in both simple presentations and complex cocktails. For the best experience, try:

Classic Cocktails, Elevated

A high-quality Colorado vodka can transform familiar drinks:

• The Pike's Peak Martini: Combine 2oz of Spring44 vodka with a whisper of dry vermouth and garnish with locally-grown herbs instead of the typical olive or lemon twist.
• The Garden of the Gods Mule: Mix Axe and the Oak's Colorado craft vodka with spicy ginger beer and lime, then garnish with a sprig of Colorado-grown mint for a locally-inspired take on the Moscow Mule.
• The Broadmoor Bloody Mary: Leopold Silver Tree's small batch vodka provides the perfect base for a weekend brunch cocktail, especially when mixed with San Luis Valley tomato juice and garnished with locally sourced pickled vegetables.

Seasonal Infusions

Colorado's abundant produce offers excellent opportunities for home infusions:

• Summer: Try infusing a local Colorado craft vodka with Palisade peaches for a quintessential Colorado summer treat.
• Fall: Western Slope apples and cinnamon create a warming autumn infusion.
• Winter: Pine needles (yes, really!) can create an intriguing wintertime spirit that captures Colorado's forests in a glass.
• Spring: Butterfly pea flowers make for a delicate and aromatic spring-infused cocktail.

Seasonal Colorado Vodka Selections

Throughout the year, different Colorado vodkas take center stage at Cheers Liquor Mart:

Summer Selections

When temperatures rise in Colorado Springs, we highlight refreshing options like pear-infused vodka from Breckenridge Distillery. Fruit-infused vodkas pair perfectly with simple summer mixers like lemonade or soda water for easy porch-sipping drinks.

Fall Favorites

As the aspens turn golden, our displays feature vodkas made from Colorado's harvest, including potato vodkas and those infused with seasonal flavors like apple and cinnamon. These make perfect additions to warming autumn cocktails and holiday gatherings.

Winter Warmers

In the colder months, we'll stock higher-proof Colorado craft vodka that stands up well in hot drinks. Look for special winter editions that incorporate seasonal botanicals like peppermint that are perfect for cozy evenings.

Spring Specialties

When the Pikes Peak snow begins to melt, we showcase lighter, floral-forward vodkas that mirror the season's renewal. These often include limited editions featuring spring botanicals that capture Colorado's awakening landscape.
