I have never sold Titoe’s Vodka because they were fined twice for dumping waist water into the river in Austin. (Would you drink my vodka if I dumped my waist in the lake?) They have however had a very effective marketing campaign which has built a very large an loyal following. I can’t count the number of times that a guest has requested Titoe’s and I have explained my position, then introduced them to a NH alternative. (Now Dancing Rabbit) Many have come back to enthusiastically request the alternative. This is why I encourage we encourage our restaurants to be more proactive. The business they save may be their own.
