Also located in fruit country, Okanagan Spirits has won awards and accolades for its wide range of products, including fruit liqueurs (think sea buckthorn, raspberry and huckleberry) and spirits such as their own take on Scandinavian specialty akvavit. Perhaps the most interesting item on their roster is an absinthe made of local fruit spirits rather than grain, plus paraphernalia including an absinthe spoon, glass and fountain. 2920 28th Ave., Vernon, BC, 250-549-3120, okanaganspirits.com
