Fair Organic Quinoa Vodka

Fair Organic Quinoa Vodka is the world's first vodka distilled from quinoa — and the first fair-trade-certified vodka on the market. The quinoa comes from the Anapqui cooperative of ~1,200 independent farmers in the Bolivian Andes, grown at over 13,000 feet in volcanic soils, then shipped to Cognac, France for distillation. Certified Fair Trade, USDA Organic, vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and no sugar added. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), 750mL. Order online from Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

From Andean Fields to Cognac Stills

FAIR was created in 2009 from a simple idea: spirits can be a force for good. The brand grew out of a two-year research project between French distillers and Andean farmers, and commits 10% of profits back to the farming communities. The result is a vodka with a genuine story — high-altitude quinoa, fair-trade certification, and French distillation craft. Browse more vodka and the FAIR collection.

Tasting Notes

Distinctively textured for a vodka: a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel with subtle nutty and mineral notes from the quinoa, finishing clean and smooth with no harsh burn.

How to Enjoy

Chilled and neat to appreciate the texture, or in a Vodka Martini where its character shows through. It also elevates a Moscow Mule or a simple vodka soda with lime.
