Goodnight Loving Vodka began with a spark at a family spring in Texas Hill Country. Co-founders Tim Osburn and his son Timothy were inspired by the pristine artesian water on their ranch, a resource so pure it could be enjoyed straight from the ground.
“We knew we had stumbled across something big,” Timothy recalled of their early experiments that evolved into an award-winning vodka.
Since then, the brand has carved its place in the competitive spirits industry. Goodnight Loving Vodka became the first Texas-made spirit to earn a Platinum Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a feat requiring three consecutive Double Golds. Tim noted that the recognition was like “winning a Best Picture Oscar” — a rare achievement that validated the family’s vision and craftsmanship.
At the heart of the company’s identity is its commitment to stewardship. Long before vodka production began, the family prioritized land and water conservation on their ranch. They continue to remove invasive cedar and brush to protect the spring’s flow and improve wildlife habitat. Their conservation ethos extends to their bottling facility, which employs rainwater collection, xeriscaping and low-flow fixtures.
“We don’t waste a single drop,” Tim said, emphasizing their broader mission to safeguard Texas’s fragile water resources.
Looking ahead, the Osburns are planning a brand refresh and eventual expansion to larger facilities. Their goals are ambitious: to grow globally, increase charitable giving and remain true to their roots.
“Our spark was our crystal-clear artesian spring,” Tim said. “It’s our true celebrity.”
For the father-and-son team, the legacy of Goodnight Loving Vodka lies not only in its accolades but in its commitment to quality, stewardship and family.
