Kristone Handmade Vodka is made by Crystal Rain Distillery in Illinois, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is distilled from organic winter wheat and reverse-osmosis purified water.
It is distilled six times through a hand-made copper still with 24 plates, custom-built specifically for vodka production.
It then passes through silver and platinum filtration for an exceptionally smooth, clean finish.
Kristone has won medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and its frosted bottle with its tall, vertical logo makes it a stylish pour. Wheat gives vodka a softer, slightly sweet character compared with rye or potato, and the many plates of the custom still let the distillers strip the spirit to a very pure, clean profile that works equally well neat or in cocktails.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Kristone straight from the freezer in a chilled glass to appreciate its silky texture, or over ice with a twist of lemon. Its clean profile makes a crisp Vodka Martini and a bright Moscow Mule with ginger beer and lime, and its peppery whisper is a natural fit for a Bloody Mary. Mix it with soda and fresh citrus for a light highball, or use it in an Espresso Martini or Cosmopolitan. For a party, set up a Bloody Mary bar with tomato juice, horseradish, hot sauce, celery and olives so guests can build their own. Pair it with caviar, oysters, smoked salmon, pickles and crudités. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays. Keep the bottle in the freezer for the coldest pours.
