Prairie Organic Vodka Wins “Best of Show – Platinum Award”

The “Best of Show” award is granted to only one winner per category, which is chosen unanimously by the tasting panel as the finest offering of the competition. These Platinum Award Winning products should be regarded for the extra effort, creativity and care taken in bringing them to the market. 

The World Beverage Competition is the largest beverage competition in the world as well as accredited as the premier tasting event. It was founded on the premise that beverage products should be judged not by the strength of their marketing or the budget of their sales force, but rather on the quality and innovation of the product itself. 

Prairie Organic Vodka was featured at the 2008 Food & Wine Entertaining Showcase in Chicago. It was served in two delicious cocktails by famed Blackbird Restaurant Mixologist, Matty Colston.
