Dubin noted that a cruise was an appropriate venue for the brand, which focuses on water.  “There are hundreds of vodkas to choose from. The question is, what is vodka’s most distinguishing characteristic? For LEAF, it’s all about the main ingredient, water!”

LEAF Vodka is sourced from two unique American waters that give LEAF Vodkas their signature tastes. LEAF Vodka made from Alaskan Glacial Water has a pure, smooth taste with a hint of sweetness while LEAF Vodka made from Rocky Mountain Mineral Water offers richness and complexity, lending a warm and savory impression on the palate.
