Review: Burnetts Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka

Burnetts Ruby Red Grapefruit - CopyBurnetts Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka was introduced May 2014.  It is one of 36 flavors they create with 100% grain that is quadruple distilled and triple charcoal filtered.  Natural flavors are then added.  Having sold 2,610,000 cases of vodka in 2014, Burnetts has grown their vodka sales by over 1 million cases per year since 2010.  While the price of Burnetts vodka, I paid $7.99 for a 750ml bottle, may have something to do with the success of the brand, price only works for the first bottle of Burnetts purchased.  Having reviewed 355 vodkas without a single Burnetts review, I felt it was time for me to stop ignoring this very popular brand.

Review: UV Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka

UV Ruby Red Grapefruit - CopyUV Ruby Red Grapefruit vodka was just introduced.  This is UV’s second Grapefruit flavored vodka.  The first one I reviewed March 12, 2014.  I believe that one was available in limited markets as it never appeared on the UV website.  It poured to a clear color and had a white grapefruit flavor to it.  Ruby Red already appears on the UV website and it is one of 21 vodka’s currently featured.  UV starts with Midwest grown yellow corn and purified water from deep aquifers in Princeton Minnesota.  It is distilled four times and then filtered with activated carbon.  Natural flavors including real grapefruit juice are added before bottling at 60 proof.

Review: Svedka Grapefruit Jalapeno Vodka

svedka grapefruit jalapeno - CopySvedka Grapefruit Jalapeno vodka was just introduced along with an unflavored 100 proof vodka.  This is the third new grapefruit flavored vodka launched this year.  While grapefruit may be the hottest taste, heat is another popular trend.  Heat and higher alcohol content.  Svedka also introduced a 100 proof vodka.  Heat in the form of cinnamon flavor, Fireball cinnamon whisky, and their many clones.  Heat in the form of peppers, Pinnacle Habanero vodka.  It was only a matter of time before someone combined the two.  SGJ is crafted in Lidkoping Sweden with four pounds of Swedish winter wheat needed for each 750 ml bottle.  They use a continuous distillation process and then run the vodka through high performance purification columns five separate times to remove impurities.  Ice cold water from Swedish underground springs is then blended in before all natural grapefruit and jalapeno flavors are infused with the vodka.
