The creators behind the renowned St. Elmo Cocktails are bringing something new to the spirits world: Barkeep Vodka, a first-of-its-kind premium vodka designed to redefine smoothness and purity in every pour. Launched by an Indiana-based artisan distillery, Barkeep Vodka is crafted with a unique pressure filtration process that removes the harsh bite, burn, and aftertaste often associated with traditional vodkas.

Grab a bottle and make St. Elmo’s LemonDrop Martini.

Craig Huse, CEO of Huse Culinary, who has decades of experience in the hospitality industry, is particularly proud of this new venture. “In my 35 years in the hospitality industry, I’ve had the privilege of sampling nearly every premium vodka on the market,” Huse shared. “Yet, nothing compares to the purity and smoothness of Barkeep Vodka. This groundbreaking technology has set a new standard for vodka and is poised to revolutionize the spirits industry as a whole. We are thrilled to pioneer this transformation with Barkeep Vodka, delivering the cleanest-tasting vodka experience to Hoosiers.”

Barkeep Vodka’s journey begins in the heart of Indiana, where it’s distilled six times using corn sourced from local farms. This careful process ensures that each batch is gluten-free, allergen-free, and free from impurities. But what truly sets Barkeep Vodka apart is that it achieves its exceptional smoothness while maintaining an 86-proof strength, offering a robust yet refined drinking experience.

Each bottle of Barkeep Vodka is a testament to the meticulous craft of small-batch distilling. The vodka is pressure filtered, bottled, and produced entirely within the company’s artisan distillery in Indianapolis. With a commitment to quality, Barkeep Vodka is now available wherever premium spirits are sold and served across Indiana.

For those looking to elevate their cocktail experience, Barkeep Vodka is the ideal choice. Whether you’re a mixologist aiming to craft the perfect drink or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, Barkeep Vodka offers a new level of smoothness and taste that’s sure to impress.
