Just a few minutes past Whistler, the family-run Pemberton Distillery is producing award-winning organic vodka and other spirits. Stop by for a tour and a tasting at this working distillery set amidst jaw-dropping mountain views. Cheers!

Bend Distillery makes award-winning gin and four different types of vodka, but the best is Crater Lake Vodka. It's made with Cascade Mountain water and filtered 10 times through charcoal, crushed lava rock, and oak. This smooth vodka is perfect in classic summer drinks like a Ginger Press.

Rye rules at the nation's only ski-in distillery. Choose from a selection of five different styles, ranging from blends to a 21-year, oak barrel aged. This summer, make sure to try the High West Lemonade, a cocktail using their Double Rye! Or Vodka 7000', Housemade Spiced Lemonade, and mint. Whiskey lovers should try the Dead Man's Boots, made with Rendezvous Rye, tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, and ginger beer.

The killer green construction and design isn't the only reason to visit this boutique producer, although Colorado beetle kill pine and copper German make for stylish sipping. Rather, the owners have their own farm (they grow the potatoes for their stellar vodka, for starters), and what they don't grow is locally sourced. This summer try the Colorado Cucumber, made with Vodka, cucumber, apple, ginger, lemon, and maple. Photo from Woody Creek Distillers

Step into this vast working distillery and tasting room, and belly up to the bar for complimentary pours of the crisp, clean Platino Light Rum, or the exceptionally smooth, smoky Oro Dark Rum. This summer make sure to grab a Montanya Mojito on the rooftop patio of their Silverton location. Photo from Montanya Distillers

Two Guns Distillery draws on Leadville's rich mining history to produce only two kinds of liquor: moonshine and whiskey. The cocktails are dangerously good and the locals have already embraced this new spot in the historic center. Now that the snow is gone, grab a Singapore Sling or Moonshine Mojito and enjoy a round or two of corn hole outside. Photo from Two Guns Distillery

Green Mountain makes hand-crafted organic spirits in one of the best ski towns in the northeast. The vodka and the gin are good, but check out the maple liqueur for some local flavor. There's no tasting room so email or call to schedule a tour. Photo from Green Mountain Organic Vodka
