Bestowing someone with a bottle of their favorite tipple is a tried-and-true gifting strategy that never fails to lift “spirits” during the holidays, or at any time of year for that matter. However, you can elevate your libation selection this season and give it a personalized flair by choosing a bottle of locally distilled, uniquely crafted liquor from the farmers market. To help you match the perfect bottle to its recipient, here is a “refresher” on the different types of liquors featured by our catalog of spirits vendors across our markets this month and some background on how they’re produced using a range of locally sourced ingredients and artisanal techniques.  1. Bitters Think of bitters as the herbs and spices of the mixology world. These alluring tinctures sold in petite bottles with oversized labels are high-proof spirits infused with botanical matter such as barks, berries, citrus peels, flowers and roots. A neutral grain alcohol such as Everclear or vodka is typically used as the liquid base for bitters so as not to interfere with the resulting taste profile and to help extract flavor during the infusion process. However, spirits with a more robust character such as rye and rum can also be used to contribute their own flavors to the final product.  Bitters are doled out sparsely in small droplets and dashes but are essential for introducing complexity, dimension and balance into a range of classic cocktails from the Old Fashioned to the Manhattan. Because they are consumed in such negligible quantities, a dash of bitters can be splashed into club soda or sparkling water to make a bubbly and refreshing drink with only trace amounts of alcohol.  2. Whiskey Whiskey is the general term used to describe an alcoholic liquor made from fermented cereal grains, water and yeast. Depending on the geographical origin and style of whiskey, the grains used in whiskey production can include barley, corn, rye, wheat and oats. Different combinations and percentages of grains (which may or may not be malted) are used to produce different variations of whiskey. For instance, bourbon is a type of whiskey originating from Bourbon County, Kentucky that is made from a grain mixture with at least 51% corn. When making their artisanal whiskey offerings, Down to Earth’s vendors use a variety of New York-grown grains to produce their proprietary mash bills:

Hudson Whiskey NY has always been known for its big, bold flavor: they like to think of it as New York attitude (and New York grains) distilled. And like New York itself, their whiskey is in a class of its own. Thanks to high-quality grain from local family farmers and straight up, undiluted mash bills, they’re able to create the purest possible expressions of each grain and truly make whiskey the way they want to: Bold yet refined; artful and unapologetic.

Nahmias et Fils Distillery, based in Yonkers, NY, is the northeast's only producer of a traditional Moroccan fig eau de vie called Mahia. They also make aged and un-aged versions of Legs Diamond 100% rye whiskey using organic rye sourced from farms in upstate New York. Every bottle is made from scratch in their New York distillery. Nahmias et Fils was honored with a 2017 Good Food Award for their Legs Diamond Rye. 

Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery uses Adirondack Mountain water from their own property as the basis for a range of fun and flavorful spirits made and bottled in small batches in a renovated horse barn. Springbrook’s Adirondack High Rye Bourbon is made from local corn, rye, and malted barley and aged in heavy char oak barrels to offer the perfectly balanced combination of bold and sweet. Their Adirondack Blended Straight Bourbon is a smooth, full-bodied whiskey that is an artful combination of the distillery’s own straight bourbon with their library of bourbons of different ages and mash bills. 

3. Vodka Vodka is a clear, colorless alcoholic beverage with a neutral aroma and taste traditionally made by distilling liquid from fermented cereal grains or potatoes. Both Poland and Russia claim to be the birthplace of vodka, which is diminutive for the Russian word “voda” meaning water, however the first documented production of vodka occurred at the end of the 9th century in Russia. This highly popular beverage was consumed mainly in Russia and Eastern Europe until it made its way to North America during World War I. The first vodka sold in the U.S. was distilled in Bethel, Connecticut in 1934 after which it underwent a meteoric rise to become the most-consumed liquor in the country. Pick up a bottle of Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery’s Two Sisters Vodka this Saturday. It’s made from wheat and Adirondack Mountain water from their own property and passed through a charcoal filter to polish its flavor and aroma. And, for a little taste of Italian sunshine, their Double Gold Award Winning Two Sisters Limoncello is a vodka-based lemon liqueur is made with only the zest of the fruit, giving it a fresh, fruity flavor with less sugar content. Serve it on the rocks or with your favorite mixer. Not to be outdone, the zesty, fresh squeezed orange aroma of their Two Sisters Orangecello will make it a staple at your bar for you to enjoy ice-cold, paired with dessert or as a creative addition to a variety of home-made cuisine. 4. Gin Gin is a distilled alcoholic drink made from a grain base such as wheat or barley that must be predominantly flavored with juniper berries. Producers can also add other botanicals, herbs and spices to give their gin its own distinctive profile. Given the popularity of gin & tonics, Pimm’s Cup and other signature gin-based drinks, many people mistakenly believe that gin comes from England. However, the modern incarnation of gin was invented in the Netherlands during the 16th century when a Dutch doctor named Franciscus Sylvius de la Boe first made a schnaps distilled with juniper berries called “Genever” (Dutch for juniper berry) that he intended to be consumed for medical purposes. Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery’s Sly Fox Gin is a small-batch artisanal gin made with juniper berries and the essence of botanicals to give it an exotic burst of flavor. Sly Fox Gin won a Gold Medal at "The 50 Best" Spirits Competition and, like their other spirits, it’s created with Springbrook Hollow water from the Adirondack Mountains. This gin’s silky flavor can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite gin cocktail.  5. Zero Proof Options A bottle of kosher-certified Caribbean Hibiscus will make a great option for the non-drinkers in your crowd. Their non-alcoholic sorrel wine and cocktail mixer is all-natural, gluten-free and a refreshingly exotic beverage for people who want a fun, flavorful drink but are careful about their health. It's handcrafted and bottled fresh here in New York.  You can rest assured that a selection of any of these locally procured, inventive spirits will make the perfect last-minute or mindfully curated gift this season. We hope that this second installment in our holiday-shopping themed newsletters helps cross yet more presents off your list as we raise a glass of holiday cheer to you and yours!

idk who needs to hear this but if you knit or crochet you do not need to stress about it all of the time. that defeats the purpose of having a hobby. yes sometimes i do projects that require learning new stitches and making several runs to the craft store and searching for a specific brand of yarn and counting stitches and recounting stitches. but i also have a blanket that i call my "idgaf blanket" and it's literally just a giant gloriously repetitive chain stitch blanket made of a conglomeration of whatever yarn i happen to have scraps of. my rules are no undoing for dropped stitches, no overthinking color patterns. for just this one project, i simply crochet it because i like the feeling of crocheting. sometimes i just need to work on my idgaf blanket and that's okay and when it's done i'm sure i'll appreciate it a lot more simply because it never gave me anxiety

#crochet #crocheting #knitting #fiber crafts #i crochet but im sure that the spirit of the idgaf blanket can be applied to any hobby #yes you should challenge yourself and make beautiful art you can take pride in #but also you don't have to stop creating whenever you don't have to motivation to do so #don't be afraid to have an idgaf blanket #fiber arts #crafts #art

SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft

I’ve been seeing a lot of low energy witchcraft posts, but every one I read isn’t really low energy. When I think ‘low energy,’ I think something I can do on my lowest of low days. Days I can’t get out of bed or even think sometimes. So here it is. The SUPER Low Energy Witchcraft Guide.

Sigils sites. I have found this one to be very good. They’ll make a sigil for you so you don’t have to.

Pinterest boards. Making spells or manifesting using Pinterest boards is one of my favorite things to do.

Spotify playlists. Similar to the Pinterest board idea, use songs to create spells or manifest certain things.

Emoji spells. Use emojis to make spells, making sure they’re packed with intent.

Hang out with your tarot deck. Or any divination tool, for that matter. Just having it near you counts.

Talking to spirits and deities. Tell them about something you plan to do for them, a ritual you’d like help with, ask for help getting through the lows, etc. Or just talk to them. It doesn’t matter about what, talking improves relationships.

Read. Read books you were planning on reading. Definitely do not ever go on Z-Library for free books. Never. /s You do have limits on downloading and it’s relatively hard to figure out on mobile, but if you can get your tablet or computer up and running, it’ll work perfectly.

Scroll through Tumblr. Or Reddit. Or Pinterest. Or even Tik Tok. Scroll through the witch tags, scroll through the tags of and deities you might worship/work with. Or just look at pretty plants. Think about what they can help you with.

Make a shopping list. If you need to restock any herbs or candles, note it down.

Just light a candle or two. Simple as that.

Make a pouch or enchant a piece of jewelry or whatever you want to do to help you recover from your lows before they happen. Touch them or hold them or even just think of them when you want.

Similar to above, enchant any aids (mobility aids, medication, pain relievers, heating pads and ice packs, etc.) to help you recover faster.

If you can, think about your practice, what you want to change, what you 100% wouldn’t change, how it relates to others’ crafts, etc.

Meditate. I’m not talking about some 30 minute guided meditation sitting upright, because I have trouble with them on my lows. I’m talking about staring blankly into space or practicing mindfulness or something like that. You don’t have to do it for long, either. Take a few minutes to chill.

If you can, open your windows. Or curtains. Or blinds. Let it clear out your space.

Enchant your water or foods to help with your symptoms. Draw a sigil with anything (oil, sharpie, air, etc.) on your bottles and above your food to aid in your recovery.

Wash your face and/or hands to cleanse yourself for the day.

Have a ‘worry stone.’ Take a crystal or rock or other stone and rub it when you’re anxious. Or, enchant it to remove negative energies and rub it when your pain is at the worst. The very least it will do is distract you.

Simply rest. Resting and taking some time to recover is the best practice.

Obviously this isn’t a large list, but I cannot emphasize the ‘simply rest’ part enough. As practitioners, we tend to want to do more when we’re sitting bored in bed. But remember, safety first. The quicker you recover, the quicker you can get back to your craft.

#if you have smth to add please add it #i want to see more people with small crafts #i want to see more disabled witches like me fr #and also tell me if this is hard to read or there’s anything i need to correct #my thinking is extra disorganized today so #witch #witchblr #witchy #witchcraft #baby witch #beginner witch #deity work #green witch #kitchen witch #moon witch #witchery #witches #spirit work #spirits #deities
