Ciroc Vodka

Ciroc is the vodka that isn't made from grain. It is distilled from grapes — Mauzac Blanc from the Gaillac region and Ugni Blanc from Cognac, cold-fermented and then distilled five times, the final pass in a copper pot still in Cognac. That base is the whole reason the brand exists, and you can taste it: Ciroc is softer and more overtly fruity on the palate than a wheat or potato vodka, with a faint citrus-blossom lift.

Which is also why Ciroc leans so hard into flavour. A grape distillate takes fruit flavouring more naturally than a neutral grain spirit does, and the range here reflects that — every expression in this collection is a flavoured one.

The range, in order of how they drink

Ciroc Vodka Peach ($38.99) is the anchor and the brand's signature — ripe stone fruit, low sweetness, and the one bottle most bartenders reach for. Ciroc Pineapple Vodka ($34.99) is drier and more aromatic than it sounds. Ciroc Vodka Pomegranate ($34.99) is the tartest of the set and the best in a spritz.

The summer trio sits a little sweeter and works poured long over ice: Ciroc Vodka Summer Citrus ($37.99), Ciroc Vodka Summer Watermelon ($34.99) and Ciroc Summer Colada Vodka ($37.99), the last of which is a piña-colada-leaning expression that needs nothing but pineapple juice.

750ml or minis

Roughly half this collection is 50ml multipacks, including Ciroc Passion Fruit 15 x 50ml ($58.99). The maths is worth knowing: the multipacks carry more total volume than a 750ml bottle, so the higher ticket is not a premium — it is a larger purchase. They are the right call for a party, a gift, or working out which flavour you actually want before committing to a bottle.

Mixing notes

Ciroc's fruit-forward base does not want to be buried. Keep the mixers simple and unsweetened — soda water, fresh lime, a splash of prosecco — and go easy on syrups, because the vodka is already carrying the sweetness. Chill hard; the grape character shows best cold.

For a neutral grain vodka to mix against, see New Amsterdam or the wider vodka collection. For the sparkling half of a spritz, the Champagne & sparkling collection has the dry options that work best here.
