At Catering with a Twist, you get the best of both worlds — fresh-seasonal-local cuisine they call Third Coast Fusion and the design and artistic element brought to life with the displays-team-attire.

Deep Eddy Vodka

Deep Eddy is distilled in a state-of-the-art column still. Not only does column (or continuous) distillation allow them to distill the vodka many more times than they could using a pot still, but it also gives us a much purer distillate. This process creates a cleaner, smoother and better finished product.

Cuvee Libre – Lime wheel at the bottom of the glass (crucial), Deep Eddy Vodka, Cafecito Coffee Liqueur (revolution spirits), Mexican Cola, garnished with a lime wheel
