Brad Ritchie, a beloved husband, father, and friend had a great sense of humor and dazzling wit. With a contagious zest for life, he’d look in the mirror and say with a wink and a smile, “that’s one handsome bastard!”
Brad believed in living in the moment and he always inspired others to do the same. Cancer took Brad at the young age of 56.
We wanted to bottle the confidence he wore so well and share it with you. Brad was a bartender at heart and a lover of the true craftsmanship that went into making a cocktail. In that spirit, One Handsome Bastard was made to encourage you to push boundaries, take time to relax, and of course make a bad ass cocktail.
In order to create outstanding vodka we searched for an outstanding distiller.
Weston Holm, Master Distiller at Blue Clover, puts his heart and soul into his spirit recipes so of course it was a no brainer to continue his legacy. The Blue Clover Vodka, Gin and Bitters are all made from the finest Midwest corn with locally sourced botanicals that give them their southwest flair.
We are privileged to be able to continue this journey with a person as passionate and well versed in the craft spirit world as Weston.
Here, we create Blue Clover Spirits and One Handsome Bastard Vodka.
If you’re not smiling yet, 10% of all 1HB spirit profits will be donated to the fight against cancer. Brad would say, “Enjoy life while it’s right in front of you, cause you’re One Handsome Bastard.”
Drink up, it’s for charity!
