We featured Mixologist Melodie Buell and her background in our post of 4/3/09. She works for Organic Nation Spirits which produces Organic Nation Vodka and Organic Nation Gin. The Hill Team had an opportunity to experience these great products two different times when in Southern Oregon.

Melodie was kind enough to provide several different fantastic cocktails for your enjoyment.
This post is featuring her recipe for the 30 Mile Lemonade cocktail.
