In favor of the "work hard, play hard" motto, we at Globally Gorgeous love to end the day with a good martini. We were recently introduced to Ocean Vodka, hand-crafted and made in small batches on Maui with 100% Mahalo Deep Seawater, it's 100% USDA Certified Organic. Made by a Maui family that has been raised for generations on surfing and ocean related activities, they have been deeply influenced and affected by the ocean itself.. They have also recognized how fragile ocean eco-systems have become. Having owned and operated successful businesses for several decades, they decided it was time to devote themselves to a project that was not only highly enjoyable, but could also provide a means to give back to protecting our ocean environment. The water is drawn from 3,000 feet below the surface off the coast of the island of Hawaii to insure the water is cold and safe from surface pollutants. The family then uses a state-of-the-art facility to desalinate the water, while still retaining its precious minerals.

As we love to support companies with "green practices," this company practices in a place with energy-efficient lighting, recycles all shipping materials, utilizes reusable steel containers to transport bulk spirits and deep sea water, and uses natural cleaning products and recycled post-consumer office supplies.
*A portion of all Ocean Vodka's profits go to organizations that help protect and revitalize our ocean's resources.
