Conscious Fashion: Sustainable Sips

As the weather warms up and the sun continues to make a daily appearance, I find myself constantly staring outside my window at work. To me, there are few better ways to enjoy a summer day than relaxing on a patio with friends and a refreshing drink.

Organic eats are prevalent today, but why stop there? Why not keep the trend going and start sipping sustainable drinks too? Luckily, for all you eco-fashionistas or consumers looking for a green drink option, you’re favorite alcohol is more than likely available in an organic version. Here are a few sustainable suggestions:

Square One Vodka: from organic rye grown in North Dakota to environmentally friendly packaging, Square One delivers exceptional taste and rates high on the green scale.

• Carbon’s suggested mixer: Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade

Tequila Alquima: 100% natural, this tequila combines family tradition and high quality ingredients to put a new spin on modern sustainability.

• Carbon’s suggested mixer: salt and limes (organic, of course).

Papagayo Organic Rum: committed to sustainable farming techniques, certified organic ingredients and fair trade practices, Papagayo takes pride in their work and delivers a high quality product.

• Carbon’s suggested mixer: Maine Root’s Mexicane Cola
