Crater Lake Spirits embraced berry season by taking blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries from local Oregon farms and soaking them in vodka for a month.

They bottled that sweet berry infusion to create Northwest Berry Vodka, their latest seasonal release. New this year was the addition of strawberries, so if you tasted it last year you’ll notice this batch has a more intense berry flavor. You can find bottles at Bendstillery and the Crater Lake Tasting Room starting this week.

Drink the deep purple hued vodka straight up or have some fun by making berry lemon drops, berry spritzers and berry Moscow mules.
