ANGELS CAMP – In his front office just north of Angels Camp, Rocky Cozzo straightens out customers. He’s a chiropractor.

The product he produces in the back rooms get customers twisted, although Cozzo doesn’t think of it that way.

“It’s so they can relax,” he says of the premium vodka he brews from scratch and then distills.

Cozzo, 48, says his extensive travels helped him perfect vodka-assisted relaxation and decide to found the Cal-Czech Distillery. During a vacation to the Ukraine in 2002, he was pleasantly surprised to find he could spend the night drinking local vodka and not have any hangover the next day.
