Eau Claire distillery says it best when they describe their Spring Equinox White Spirit as a “post-hibernation celebration”. Eau Claire Distillery is one of the stops on my upcoming “Localist” tours, and have become a neighborhood favorite to get “farm to glass” spirits.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a bottle of the Spring Equinox. Technically a “white spirit” and not a vodka. It has floral notes and smells like spring in a bottle. I just had to try it out in a Moscow Mule Recipe. If you aren’t lucky enough to find some Spring Equinox, just use regular vodka for a refreshing Mule!
I must get some Copper Mugs as well, I think this will be a patio favorite this summer.

Sounds pretty yummy! Will have to get to Turner Valley for some Spring Equinox and maybe a tour.
They have a fun tour as well, great to see all the old movies and history of the area!
