Shake Pour Plant with Redwood Empire and St. Pete Bartender Michael Madison

By April 9, 2025Mixology News

Redwood Empire has vowed to plant one tree for every cocktail sold for participating accounts this Earth Month, April, up to 100,000 trees.

Through the Redwood Empire and Trees for the Future partnership, Redwood has planted a tree for every bottle of whiskey sold and has planted over 1.7 million trees to date. This Earth Month, Redwood promises to plant 100 trees for every six bottles, or one tree for every cocktail sold at participating bars.

Bars across the country are turning every cocktail into a cause. For every featured drink sold, a tree is planted through Redwood Empire’s SHAKE POUR PLANT program—helping to reforest the land while you raise your glass. It’s a toast to sustainability, flavor, and making a real impact. ????????

Any time we can support someone trying to provide a positive impact on the world, we want to be there to lend a hand. With us being a bourbon bar, this program with Redwood Empire hits especially close to home, as we realized the stress that the whiskey industry places on America’s forests.  So, the choice to participate in the program was really a no-brainer.
