DiRTY DRiNKS
A bar & bev campaign raising glasses (and funds!) for healthy soil.
Healthy soil on farms makes for better food on your plate—and the same is true for our favorite drinks! From agave to rye, coffee berries to wine grapes, the best sips start at the farms that prioritize soil health.
Dirty Drinks is a campaign connecting the beverage industry back to its agricultural roots. From August 25th to September 1st, drinkmakers will serve up creative spins on a ‘dirty drink’ and contribute $1 for each drink sold. Funds raised will go directly to farmers restoring our climate by building healthy soil. Bottoms up, carbon down!
HOW DO YOU DIRTY A DRINK?
Just like with growing good food, there are a lot of ways to dirty a drink! Whether it's a little olive juice in a martini, an espresso shot in a chai, or a wine’s thoughtful terroir, we’re inviting drink makers to use their creativity and playful interpretation.
A dirty drink is flavorous, innovative, and probably a little punny. But most importantly, it includes a $1 contribution that turns dirt into healthy soil by getting funds to farmers.
Zero Foodprint distills things down to fun and easy ways to take action. You buy a dirty drink, and we’ll send 100% of the contributions directly to growers cultivating healthy soil.

The Farmette Margarita
A zero waste cocktail that utilizes spent corn cobs, charred and made into a syrup, tomato cores, juiced, clarified, and used as the dilution element, lime juice created only from lime peels, porchetta renderings as a fat wash in place of saline, and a tomato and lime rim as garnish, produced by dehydrating everything that’s still left. Sustainably made agave spirits round out the cocktail, which drinks as effortless and profound as a backyard summer sunset. -

BIRDIE G'S
Sustainably Savory
How does that saying go...one man's trash is another man's treasure? We beg to differ! Fermented tomato water, corn husk syrup, and lemon, meets parmesan cheese rind washed mezcal with a touch of green and ancho chili served on a big rock with a dehydrated tomato leaf salt rim. All the little leftover bits and pieces from the kitchen make their way into a mean savory drink that we don't think anyone will deny belongs in your hand and the furthest thing from the trash can. -
