Our passion is making artisan, handcrafted spirits we love to drink ourselves and vodka has been on our wish list for a while now. We are very excited to launch a brand-new Citrus Vodka this summer, which is now available as a limited-edition Distillery Special.
Having distilled gin for the last six years and more recently our own brand of British made Jester Rum, this is the first time we have distilled vodka. It also comes at a time when vodka growth is on the up and is now beating both gin and whiskey sales in the UK.
According to The Grocer magazine, many of the UK’s biggest gin brands have suffered massive declines recently whereas the biggest vodka brands have made large gains. Trade figures have revealed that two-thirds of the UK’s top-selling alcohol brands have seen sales fall in the last year by more than £1.5bn collectively. Analysts have attributed this largely to consumers heading back to pubs at the end of lockdown.
Perfect for summer, our Citrus Vodka is distilled slowly so it is super smooth and bursting with the flavours of fresh oranges and lemons which are hand peeled by distillery assistants, Jack and Luke. We do not add any artificial colourings or sugar – this is a delicious, no-nonsense vodka, just the way we like it!
Fantastic served with Ginger Ale and a squeeze of lime or for the cocktail fans out there, why not make a classic Cosmopolitan using Citrus Vodka, Cointreau, lime juice and cranberry juice.
Citrus Vodka is available in three bottle options which can be purchased in our online shop, at the distillery shop or from No 1 High Street, Stratford-upon-Avon.
