Review: Belvedere Pink Grapefruit Vodka

Belvedere Pink Grapefruit - CopyBelvedere Pink Grapefruit vodka was introduced in 2010 and it is one of eleven vodkas Belvedere not creates in Zyrardow Poland.  It is made with Dankowskie Gold Rye and artisian well water that undergoes an 11 step process to insure it maintains its naturally soft and additive free character.  It is then distilled four times and filtered twice before being shipped to Collonges La Rouge France.  Upon arrival Argentinean and Spanish grapefruit, fresh ginger, and Spanish spring lemons are added using a maceration process that uses only real fruit which soaks up to five weeks drawing out all of the flavors.  Belvedere Pink Grapefruit is bottled at 40% alcohol, slightly higher than most flavored vodkas.
