Roberto Cavalli Vodka

Roberto Cavalli Vodka is produced in Italy by Distillerie Francoli and carries the name of the Italian fashion house. The base is Italian grain, distilled multiple times to draw out the grain's natural softness and strip away rougher notes, then brought to strength with spring water from the Apennine mountains. Multiple filtration follows, tidying the spirit into a clean, even state. The result is a grain vodka pitched at elegance and smoothness, designed to look the part on a glamorous shelf and to behave gently in the glass.

The nose is fresh with delicate citrus and light cereal aromas. The palate is soft and round with a touch of sweetness and a hint of spice, and the finish is smooth, long and clean. With its delicate citrus lift and soft body, it suits a Cosmopolitan: shake it with triple sec, a measure of cranberry and fresh lime, then strain into a chilled coupe with a flamed orange twist. The vodka's gentle citrus and smoothness let the drink stay crisp and bright rather than heavy.
