Maximize the Income Potential From Your Patio! Extend Your Season! Actor Bill Murray and Family Get into the Vodka Game Ever walk into a bar and ask, “what kind of vodkas do you have?” A lot of times the bartender will throw out a number and complain the bar has too many. The Murray brothers—actors Bill, Brian Doyle and Joel, along with John, Edward and chef Andy—wanted to change the myth that all vodkas were the same. After meeting with several producers and distillers, and drinking endless amounts of vodka, the Murrays finally teamed up with Cello Via to make the perfect vodka. Murray Bros. Caddyshack Vodka is handmade from local Midwestern corn, distilled five times, and filtered 12 times, presenting a clean, crisp aroma with a hint of grain sweetness. As Andy Murray has said, “This vodka is so smooth, you can drink it straight.” Most fans of the Murrays know they grew up in Wilmette. In 2018, Andy Murray and Mac Haskell opened a Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurant in Rosemont. The most popular cocktail there is the 19th Hole. A perfect mix of Murray vodka, along with peach schnapps and Aperol, it is the perfect summer time drink to enjoy after a round of golf or hanging at the bar with friends. The staff at Murray Bros. Caddyshack believes that once you master vodka, life gets much easier. Stop by soon to try a drink. 9546 Balmoral Ave., Rosemont.
