April 22nd is one of our favorite holidays, Earth Day! Earth Day isn’t just about planting trees and recycling, it’s also about celebrating green growth and responsibility. At Thatcher’s Organic, we believe sustainability should be delicious. That’s why we craft our small-batch spirits with organic, non-GMO ingredients, no artificial junk, and 100% recyclable packaging.
Drink the way Mother Earth intended with these eco-conscious green cocktails that are as fresh, vibrant, and guilt-free as the planet deserves. We dreamt up these Earth Day cocktails with spring in mind, but you can enjoy these eco-friendly sippers all year long.
Cuke Cocktail
We fit as much cucumber into this refreshing, light green cocktail as we possibly could!
1 oz Thatcher’s Organic Small Batch Vodka
1 oz Thatcher’s Organic Elderflower Liqueur
1 oz Thatcher’s Organic Cucumber Liqueur
1 small cucumber
1 oz lime juice
1.5 oz simple syrup
Cucumber ribbons, garnish
Peel (save the ribbons for the garnish) and chop the cucumber before blending in a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture into a cocktail shaker with ice and discard the pulp (you can compost this). Add Thatcher’s Vodka and Elderflower Liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake well, then strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with the cucumber ribbons from earlier.
The Bee’s Knees (But Make It Organic)
A classic with a pollinator-friendly twist.

.5 oz local honey syrup
.5 oz lemon juice
Lemon wheel, garnish
Edible flower, garnish
Shake all ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon wheel and flower.
