For those cool drinkers who prefer their drinks nice and crisp and in the clear variety, nothing else will do quite like vodka. Vodka has been around for ages, but in recent years has come into its own in a new way. Vodka now is offered by a number of distilleries in a variety of flavors —some fruity, and some a bit more unconventional. Let’s examine the best flavored vodkas on the market and see what’s happening with holiday drinks this year,
1. 44 Degrees N. Mountain Huckleberry Vodka — 44 Degrees has produced a stellar huckleberry flavored vodka that is clean and refreshing with a pop of fruit flavor. Though Russia is famous for Vodka, 44 Degrees proves that America’s got what it takes.
2. Purgatory By Alaska Distillery — Made with some of the best water on the planet —glacier water — Purgatory offers a nutty taste brought about by the use of hemp seeds in the vodka’s production.
3. Belvedere Orange Vodka —Quadruple distilled and incorporating flavors culled from flowers and soaked orange peels; Belvedere Orange has a natural mandarin orange flavor that finishes with a sweet floral taste.
4. Effen Cucumber Vodka —The 75 proof Effen presents a very crisp and smoothly finishing flavor that is subtle, yet very invigorating.
5. Black Truffle by Modern Spirits — This California vodka is an amazing offering from Modern Spirits. Black Truffle brings with it a joy for the senses, with an aroma, taste and texture that screams pure luxuriousness.
6. Hangar 1 Chipotle Chile Vodka by Proximo Spirits — With a base of wheat and grapes, infused with chipotle chile, Hangar 1 offers us a spicy spirit with a peppered finish.
7. Skyy Pineapple Vodka — A sweet vodka that hails unconventionally from Pekin, Illinois. Possessing the very sweet flavors of beautifully ripened pineapples, Skyy leaves you feeling like you’ve briefly visited the tropics.
