We are Colorado Natives and have an extreme pride and loyalty for all things Colorado. We are “Statriotic” and love our home state!

Growing up in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, we learned from an early age to take advantage of our surroundings-participating in all the activities Colorado had to offer us. From skiing fresh Winter powder… to Summer rafting cool mountain streams, we learned from an early age how to enjoy this beautiful state. We never got tired of catching an afternoon Rockies game… losing our voices during a Bronco's victory…taking out of state friends to their first Red Rocks experience.. hiking, camping, fishing, off-roading-this was our Colorado.

Coming into our own in the historic LoDo neighborhood of Denver in the restaurant industry, we shared a great sense of pride for our small part in helping to develop this part of Denver, and in working alongside fellow locally owned and family run companies.

During the advent of the micro-brew and well before the distillery movement that is so popular now, we discussed each night after our bar shifts…the lack of a truly local spirit with a downtown location and an identity-something the local crowd could get behind and support. For years, we discussed how fantastic it would be to have a Colorado-based spirit to support. And then one day…we decided to do it ourselves!

In the end, the simplest of ideas between long time friends created what is now bottled under the CVC Vodka label: a simple concept, a hand-picked recipe, and an honest passion for our home state. “Clean. Crisp. Colorado…OUR story is in the bottle."
