Description
Western Son Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka comes from Western Son, a Texas distillery. It starts with the same base as the brand’s original , made from Texas-grown grain and distilled ten times. Grapefruit flavor is then added and the spirit is bottled at 30% ABV, or 60 proof.
That lower strength makes it gentle and easy to sip. The base is made from corn, so it is a naturally gluten-free choice. Western Son produces it in small batches.
Open the bottle and you get a burst of crisp, freshly picked ruby red grapefruit. The taste is sweet and juicy, with just enough tartness to keep it bright. It is never bitter like grapefruit peel can be. The finish stays smooth, clean and citrusy.
Keep it in the freezer and pour it ice cold as a shot. Better yet, top it with soda water for a simple spritz, or mix it with lemonade or tonic. It also makes an easy shortcut for a Paloma-style drink.
Bring it to a summer cookout and serve it with grilled shrimp, fish tacos or a citrus salad. If you like fruity drinks that still taste fresh and not sugary, you will want this bottle around.
