Kim notes that there are hundreds of vodkas to choose from, but LEAF has a distinguishing characteristic in its use of water. 

LEAF Vodka is sourced from unique waters around the country and is USDA Certified Organic. There are two varieties — one made from Alaskan Glacial water, which lends a pure, smooth taste with a hint of sweetness. The other, made from Rocky Mountain mineral water, provides richness and complexity, offering a warm and savory impression.

“When it comes to our food, high-quality ingredients and taste are a priority.  We feel the same way about our signature cocktails,” said Kim.
