St. George Green Chile Vodka
Process & Profile
St. George Green Chile Vodka is a vibrant, handcrafted spirit from St. George Spirits in Alameda, California, renowned for its innovative approach to distillation. This vodka starts with a non-GMO grain neutral spirit, infused with a medley of California-grown peppers—jalapeños, Serranos, habaneros, and red and yellow bell peppers—alongside lime peel and fresh cilantro. The process involves distilling crushed jalapeños and lime peel in a 1,500-liter still, using a Carter head assembly layered with cilantro to capture its essence. The other peppers are infused separately, then blended with the jalapeño-lime-cilantro distillate. A final infusion adds a light green tint, and the spirit is lightly filtered to retain its bold flavors. Bottled at 40% ABV, this vodka delivers a fresh, spicy kick that’s earned praise from outlets like the Los Angeles Times and Food & Wine.
