Black Momma Vodka
Long Island corn vodka, filtered smooth, poured cold.
The story behind Black Momma
Black Momma Vodka was founded by Vanessa Braxton, a former structural civil engineer, and licensed in 2012. Her parent company, Gravesande Braxton Distillers, runs its manufacturing headquarters and a 15 acre farm grow house right here in Suffolk County. New York State issued a Legislative Proclamation naming her the first African American Woman Master Distiller and Master Blender in the United States.
The flagship is 100% corn, naturally gluten free, distilled five to ten times depending on the batch, then filtered through charcoal and crushed diamond lava rock and cut with mountain spring water. In 2013 it scored 84 of 100 at the Ultimate Beverage Challenge and landed in the top 10 unflavored U.S. craft vodkas. Rolling Stone named it Best Vodka in its 2021 Culture Awards.

Every bottle on this shelf is $32.99 for 750mL, flagship or flavored, which keeps the decision simple. That sits in the premium craft tier, and you are paying for corn mash, spring water and real tea leaves rather than neutral grain spirit and syrup.

Black Momma cocktails and pairings
Serve the flagship ice cold, neat or over one rock with citrus. The tea expressions want a hard shake first, then spicy food.
