Award-winning Dixie Vodka launches its first-ever citrus varietal this July. Celebrating the best of the South’s citrus offerings – lemon, lime and tangerine – Dixie Citrus adds a zesty twist to the South’s Best Tasting Vodka line-up.
Produced by Grain & Barrel spirits in Charleston, S.C., the 80-proof spirit has a fresh aroma, as well as a tart-to-sweet flavor perfectly integrated for a smooth, refreshing taste. Made for Southerners, by Southerners, Dixie Citrus’s all-natural ingredients create a well-rounded and crisp finish designed to drink with club soda, letting the natural elements do the rest, or mixed as a refreshing craft cocktail. All packaging and ingredients are sourced within the South, keeping all aspects of Dixie Citrus as close to home as possible.
“Citrus is the largest category of flavored vodka in the market,” says Matti Anttila, Founder and CEO of Grain and Barrel Spirits. “That said, we wanted the taste profile to be more than a one dimensional lemon or lime so we carefully worked to craft a complex-tasting Southern citrus blend that really gives Dixie Citrus a unique profile that consumers can enjoy with a simple mixer or on the rocks”.
Dixie Citrus is the fourth vodka from the company that was founded back in 2014 and includes Dixie Black Pepper, Dixie Mint and the original Dixie Southern Vodka. Dixie has consistently won many of the Nation’s top spirits awards, including top honors at the Craft Spirits Awards, the SIP Awards and the Spirit of the Americas Awards.
Dixie Vodkas are now available in South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia and Tennessee. Dixie Citrus will follow in the footsteps of the rest of the Dixie Vodka family.
