Light The Fuse
Bluff Creek Distillery: You may never be satisfied
with a simple screwdriver again.

CHOOSE LOWALCOHOL
LIBATIONS.
Also called suppressors,
shims, light cocktails and
low-proofs, these session
cocktails can deliver
full-flavored, palate-pleasing creations.
Even better-the
delightful drinks often
are lower in calories and
might even add a few
health benefits and bolster your willpower.
You know the routine-you resolve to drink
light and eat healthy, but
after a few, the resolve
has left the building. After
all, alcohol not only weakens your resistance, it can
lower blood sugar and
make you feel hungrier.
So choose low-alcohol, and alternate a cocktail with a mocktail such
as lime and tonic or good
old water. Keep your
resolve and your health.

USE
FLAVORFUL
ALCOHOLS.

6 ounces orange juice
1½ ounces Bluff Creek Fire in the Hole
cinnamon vodka
 Mix and serve over ice.

When you mix simple
ingredients like vodka
and orange juice, you
might as well just drink a
Virgin Screwdriver-you
don't get additional flavor. But if you mix in a
peach-flavored vodka,
you can use less vodka.
Better yet, by using a
flavored vodka or moonshine rather than a similarly flavored schnapps or
liqueur, you're saving calories: 195 calories per
shot for schnapps, 64 for
vodka.

SHOCKWAVE
Bluff Creek Distillery: Sending an explosion of flavors both
tropical and fiery.

4 ounces pineapple juice
2 ounces Bluff Creek Fire in the Hole cinnamon vodka
 Mix and serve over ice.
