Join one of the founders, Kiki Braverman, for a special Cocktail Happy Hour, and sample three delicious spirits at the Ruby.

Pür•spirits 

Pür•spirits is a portfolio of classic distillations that take a modern view on fresh, local and organic ingredients. Founded by Kiki Braverman who, like many of her fellow entrepreneurs, happened upon her passion for distilling somewhat circuitously. Growing up in Bavaria, Germany, she developed a deep love of nature and respect for the environment. This love took her across the globe, exploring different career paths and eventually settling in Northern California. Yet somehow, she always found herself returning to her first love: the seasonal ingredients, biodynamic cultivation and craft distilling traditions of her native Bavaria.

Kiki’s Pür•spirits are a reflection of her journey – a collection of liqueurs and infused spirits produced from locally foraged ingredients in micro batches according to traditional principles and time honored recipes in Bavaria, Germany seamlessly entwined with the modern cocktail movement.

Pür•spirits was voted Liqueur of the Year by Drink Me Magazine.

SIA Scotch Whisky

Not your grandfather’s scotch, SIA is a delicious 96-Point award-winning Scotch Whisky created to appeal to a modern palate. In a terrific twist of fate, a relationship break up caused founder Carin Luna-Ostaseski to seek new horizons in the form of a grand tour of her local whisky purveyor. A 300-strong collection of unique whiskies later, her heart was cured, and she became a dedicated student of this sublime spirit. Finally, after many years of hosting regular tasting events, her love for the spirit drove her to leave her 17-year career as a Creative Director and pursue her dream of becoming the first American woman in history to create a Scotch Whisky company.

SIA is a blend of Speyside, Highland and Islay malt and grain whiskies with notes of vanilla, caramel, citrus and honey. Delicious sipped neat, or on the rocks, it is also remarkably versatile in a cocktail.

SIA has been awarded a 96 Points rating from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge and a Double Gold medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Square One Organic Spirits

As one of the first certified organic spirits, Square One Organic Vodka was inspired as much by the garden as it was by the art of mixology. For over a decade, Allison Evanow has been producing one of the greenest clear spirits in the industry, distilling her vodka from 100% organic American rye grain, scrupulously sourced botanicals and pristine water from Wyoming’s Teton Mountains; all packaged in sustainably sourced materials.

A seasoned wine and spirits industry executive, Allison became one of the first female entrepreneurs to bring a combined passion for craft cocktails and organic farmers markets to the world of spirits. Her award winning spirits grace the cocktail menus of some of the nation’s top hotels, restaurants and bars, and are the preferred choice of anyone who is as concerned about what goes in their cocktail glass as they are about what goes on their plate.

Square One was awarded a 94 Points - Gold Medal from the Beverage Testing Institute and a Gold Seal from the Good Food Awards
