Word of mouth is powerful and that’s how Tito’s Handmade Vodka has come to be recognized a Double Gold Medal Winner from the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco. The aptly named Tito Beveridge first decided to try his hand at vodka-making after tasting his Uncle Phil’s habanero-flavored vodka at a watermelon thump in Luling, Texas. The straight-from-the-freezer but hot as hell concoction got Beveridge’s attention and soon after, he built his own distillery in Austin, which is the only legal distillery in Texas (and it’s a microdistillery, at that!) Using nothing but pure corn and six distillations in an old-fashioned pot still, Tito’s Handmade Vodka only uses the “nectar” – the heart of the product, which is a perfect balance of alcohol which is neither too high or low - thus imparting a clean taste that’s absolutely fabulous. Tito’s is a great substitute for gin in a martini, but chilled and neat is an equally pleasurable way to end your day.
