While the Tandem Tasters were judging at the Oregon Chocolate Festival in Ashland, Oregon, we came across Organic Nation Spirits. This is not what you might expect at a statewide chocolate festival.
In addition to Organic Nation Vodka tasting good, they made a delicious recipe of Organic Nation Vodka Raspberry Sauce which they poured over a great chocolate cake. Yummy. For this unusual pairing, they received Runner Up for the Non-Traditional & Innovative Use of Chocolate. Congratulations to them for being so creative.
