Humboldt Distillery owners Abe and Courtney Stevens weren’t always into distilling. Abe started as a biochemist and Courtney studied English, but their paths brought them to Humboldt , where Abe’s family has lived for five generations. Humboldt Distillery is best known for its organic vodka, which is the best-selling organic vodka in California. We talked about clean water, poker tournaments, and hemp-infused vodka, which can be a delicious substitute for gin. To prove it, Abe and Courtney have provided the recipe for a Hemp Highball using their “Humboldt’s Finest” vodka.
Hemp Highball Cocktail
1.5 oz Humboldt's Finest Hemp-Infused Vodka
1 oz jasmine simple syrup
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
Soda water
2 cucumber slices
Highball Glass
To make jasmine syrup: Brew a strong jasmine green tea and dissolve 1 part sugar in 1 part hot tea. Allow to cool.
Add vodka, syrup, lemon juice, and 1 cucumber slice to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until chilled.
Strain into a highball glass over fresh ice. Top with soda water. Garnish with remaining cucumber slice and serve.
