Florida's citrus country producing new vodka
Standing in the heart of citrus country, where the trees are just beginning to yield the baseball-sized fruit that is Florida's signature crop, it's natural to thirst for a cold glass of orange juice. But when Palm Beach Gardens entrepreneurs Chester Brandes and Timo Sutinen came to this Central Florida town, they had another beverage in mind. Namely, vodka. A Florida-made, orange-flavored vodka, to be exact. So, they set out to create just that spirit, hoping to capitalize on the sun-kissed fascination for all things Florida. Within about a year, 4 Orange Premium Vodka was born.
