Even if i dont know those people, thats fine. I just know that theyll be happy to have one. A powerful message. You know, for me, when i was young, something i adopted was treat others how you want to be treated. But first, cheers to giving back. Imagine a drink that tastes great but also gives back to worthy causes. Maurice kanbar created blue angel vodka to do just that. My favorite drink is the martini. It gives me the biggest bang for the buck. I love it at lunch. After lunch, for the next two hours, im in a lovely state. Why blue angel . Because its ultrapremier vodka. Its only San Francisco brand left. Its glutenfree from organic local products, and more important, its extensively communityoriented and known for its charity givings and associations in support of the charities, arts, and culture throughout the bay area. Well, i enjoy a martini at lunch. And i used to get a dull headache, but i so enjoyed it that i kept drinking until i decided to check this out. What is it thats giving me a headache . So i did a little research, and i said, how do we get those congeners out . So, the first vodka that i made had five distillations before we achieved 99. 9 purity. And i created skyy vodka, and it was very successful, and i said, you know, i know how to make this so that it is ultrasmooth. Then i created a new vodka, and i called it blue angel vodka. I got the name because the blue angels were flying, and i love to watch them. Maurice is a visionary, and hes like me. Hes a vodka lover. After success of skyy, he kept continuing his search for a perfect martini and absolute perfect vodka. Skyy was a great vodka, but he wasnt satisfied. He wanted to make even better vodka, so the end result was blue angel. Its made in the bay area. And i can tell you that the profit will go to charity. So im gonna give it away to good causes schools, hospitals, medical research, and things of that sort. From my point of view, a lifelong vodka drinker, blue angel is a ultrapremier vodka. Its sixtime distill, fourtime filter. Water is reverse osmosis, and its organic glutenfree. For me, the real appeal of it was that, besides being a great vodka, its a unique San Francisco story. Its really a San Francisco brand, and maurice had a history of involvement arts and culture, film scene San Francisco. So its simple. Create vodka, uniquely San Francisco brand, heavily associated with charity and arts and culture, make world better one martini at a time. Maurice is an amazing, complex man. He is brilliant. He is a visionary. Hes ambitious. Hes driven. And hes innovative. Hes very creative. I look up to him because hes driven. Hes restless. He cant just sit there, stand
