How Flavored Vodkas are Made
Flavored vodka offers a delightful variety to spirit enthusiasts, blending the clean taste of vodka with a range of aromatic and tasty infusions. Here are the three most popular methods used by professionals to flavor vodka:
A) Infusing with Flavors After Distillation: This technique involves steeping ingredients like fresh fruits, spices, or herbs in the vodka after it has been distilled. The process allows the natural oils and essences from the infusants to meld with the spirit, creating a deeply integrated flavor profile. This method is favored for its ability to preserve the fresh, vibrant characteristics of the flavoring agents.
B) Mixing with Botanicals, Fruit Zests, Herbs, or Other Natural Products Before Distillation: In this approach, the raw materials are added to the liquid before it undergoes distillation. The heat from the distillation process extracts complex flavors and essential oils from the botanicals, imparting a subtle, often more refined flavor to the vodka. This method is excellent for achieving a seamless integration of flavors, making it a popular choice for more nuanced vodka varieties.
C) Adding Flavored Extracts to the Final Product: This is perhaps the quickest way to flavor vodka, involving the addition of pre-made extracts or essences to the distilled vodka. This method allows for consistent and replicable flavors, ideal for large-scale production where uniformity is key. While it might lack the artisanal touch of the other methods, it provides efficiency and versatility in flavoring.
