About us

  Brad K Ritchie would wake up, look in the mirror, and say, “That is one handsome bastard, chuckle, and walk away. Fearless, he would face the challenges of the day and reassure others as he went along. After a life of inspiring, encouraging, and rallying others to face their fears and live out their wildest dreams, cancer took Brad in the spring of 2021 at the young age of 56. Brad was a bartender at heart and a lover of the craftsmanship that went into making each beautiful cocktail. He loved vodka not only for the taste but also for the versatility of the spirit. After a long day, he’d savor a hearty vodka soda, but on a day off, he’d experiment with an espresso martini.

We, his family, wanted to bottle that confidence that he wore so well, and share it with you. In October of 2023 we took over for Blue Clover Distillery. We have continued their spirit line and are proud to still make and serve Blue Clover products with the original recipe and technique crafted by Weston Holm. We've since submitted the southwest inspired gin for competitions in both New York and San Francisco and have come back victorious in both.

Our One Handsome Bastard Vodka is made with potato sourced from Poland. It is a guaranteed Kosher product and 100% Gluten Free. We are proud of the modern take we have adapted for this Potato Vodka, veering away from the earthy traditional style and producing a clean and smooth vodka that is dangerously easy to drink. We were so giddy with the result of this product; we submitted it as well for competition and came back pleasantly surprised with the medal it received. A vodka that Brad would be proud to drink. Our hope is that this vodka will encourage you to push the boundaries, experiment, relax, and maybe make a bad ass cocktail.

You can toast to Brad (through our logo), which reminds us of the many good times we had and the many more we look forward to having with you.

Enjoy life while it's right in front of you, You One Handsome Bastard

Oh, and if you're still not convinced, 10% of all proceeds for One Handsome Bastard Vodka will be donated to the fight against cancer.

Drink up, it's for charity.
