September is National Organic Month, and one of America’s best known mixologists, Kailee Gielgens has rounded-up 6 easy-to-create cocktails to help Drink Me readers mark the occasion properly, along with some invaluable tips on how to move to a more organic cocktail-diet year round.
Tip No.1: Less Is More
Just as with food, it’s easier to find organic versions of cocktails with very few ingredients verus a long list, especially when it comes to premade ones.
A good example is Azuñia’s Organic Skinny Margarita which uses all organic ingredients, and is described by Kailee as “honestly authentic, and endlessly inventive”, a nod to its versatility. See the recipe.

Tip No.2: If You Want It Done Right, Do It Yourself
Kailee asserts that the only way to know what’s in your drink is to make it yourself. It’s not difficult to create homemade infusions and syrups ahead of time, and in batches. It’s a great way to always be prepared, like the proper little cocktail scouts we know our readers to be.
Kailee points to Lemon Hills as a wonderful example of the pre-made infusions hack. Lemon Hills was created Jason Asher of Barter & Shake who owns multiple creative cocktail concepts in Phoenix, Arizona. See the recipe here.
