Rolling Stoned -Cheech and Chong introduce a Locally Made Vodka With Special Powers
Santa Cruz Good Times ^ | November 15, 2023 | Mark C. Anderson

It would be intriguing enough that Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are introducing a high-grade collectible vodka in partnership with UBlendIt of Scotts Valley.

But it gets better from there. The Judge’s Water—named for the courtroom scene in cult hit Up In Smoke where Chong’s character Anthony Stoner discovers the magistrate’s water is actually vodka—comes with a kit to convert the bottle into a water pipe.

Like Stoner tells Pedro de Pacas (Marin) in the 1978 movie, “You better fasten your seatbelt, man.”

On top of that, a portion of proceeds will support those imprisoned unfairly for cannabis-related crimes.

UBlendIt first got traction around greater Santa Cruz by partnering with local hubs like Hula’s, The Catalyst Club and Number 1 Broadway for house-brand spirits, so the collaboration carries some poetic symmetry, and marks the first of many celeb projects to come.

CEO John Spagnola enjoys bringing award-winning spirits to the table (UBlendIt vodka took double gold at the latest San Francisco Spirits Festival), but takes more pride in the visioning process.

“It’s fun working with big names and developing strategies around new products,” he says. “You get to be really creative.”

Pre-orders are available now at reservebar.com.
