Black Button All American Corn Vodka is a grain-to-glass vodka from Black Button Distilling in Rochester, New York, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is distilled from New York State corn, with a mash of 90% corn and 10% malted barley.
The grain comes from Edgewood Farms in Groveland, about 30 minutes from the distillery.
Sweeter and smoother than many corn vodkas, it is certified gluten-free.
Black Button, founded in 2012, was Rochester's first grain-to-glass distillery since Prohibition, and each bottle carries a hand-written batch number. Its red, white and blue label celebrates its all-American roots, and it is a great way to support a small craft distillery that works directly with local farmers in western New York.

How to Enjoy It
Black Button suggests the Always Sunny: shake the vodka with pineapple juice and lime juice, then top with a splash of ginger beer. It also makes a smooth Vodka Martini, a Moscow Mule, a Vodka Soda with fresh citrus, and a Bloody Mary. Serve it ice cold and neat to taste its gentle corn sweetness. For a party, mix a big pitcher of Always Sunny cocktails and serve them over ice with pineapple wedges. Pair it with smoked fish, oysters, crudités and charcuterie. 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.
