A smooth New Zealand craft vodka infused with blood orange and vanilla, delivering a balanced blend of citrus brightness and soft sweetness.
Southward Blood Orange and Vanilla Vodka is a flavoured New Zealand vodka from Southward Distilling Co., built around a simple but effective combination of citrus and sweetness. It starts with a clean vodka base, allowing the added flavours to come through clearly without feeling heavy.
The blood orange brings a fresh, slightly tangy citrus note that gives the vodka its lift, while the vanilla adds a smooth, mellow edge. Together, they create a balanced profile that leans neither too sharp nor too sweet, making it easy to drink.
It works well in straightforward serves like vodka soda, where the citrus can stay bright, and also fits naturally into cocktails that benefit from a softer, slightly rounded flavour. As a New Zealand craft vodka, it reflects Southward’s approach of keeping things approachable while still offering something a little different in the glass.
