Iron Fish Distillery's Soft Parade Vodka

Bottoms Up

By Anna Faller | June 1, 2024

There’s something about a fruity cocktail that screams “summer,” and the 2024 batch of Iron Fish Distillery’s Soft Parade Vodka has us hollering from the rooftops! Crafted in collaboration with Short’s Brewing Company in Bellaire, this local little number combines an even split of wheat and rye vodkas (that’s the same grain mash as the beer) cold-infused with the concentrated juices of Michigan blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Brambly, balanced, and oh-so-pink, this juicy spirit is great with a mixer—try lemonade and thank us later—or in a refreshing cocktail, like the distillery’s Soft Parade Basil Martini. Top it off with a spicy snack, and consider the heat sufficiently beat. Grab yourself a bottle ($32) at Iron Fish Distillery at 14234 Dzuibanek Rd. in Thompsonville, or head to their website to find your nearest distributor. ironfishdistillery.com
