Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails

All the usual vodka cocktail suspects really. I would definitely sip this on the rocks with a lime or lemon twist.

Epic suggests an EPIC Martini using 1-1/2 ounce EPIC Classic Vodka and 3/4 ounce Dry Vermouth with Olive Garnish. They also veer toward James Bond style; shaken rather than stirred.

Epic embraces the ‘here and now’ lifestyle. The life you’re living right now; it’s the life that matters most with the people who matter most. Significant moments aren’t just identified by milestones such as birthdays, graduations, promotions and weddings. Memories are built upon some of the most minor occurrences; backyard barbeques, impromptu neighborhood gatherings, tailgate parties and unexpected guests. The most memorable, most epic experiences aren’t always the scrapbook events.

These everyday events taking place in your life; these are the Epic moments to embrace as THE “real” life. Let Epic be the brand that brings easy mixing, affordability and simplicity to your gatherings.
