A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! by\u00a0Leslie Dinaberg<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Belvedere Vodka<\/a>‘s new Ginger Zest\u00a0<\/span>flavor recently hit the shelves and it’s perfect for the warmer days of late spring and summer. A\u00a0<\/span>delicious and refreshing blend of tangy ginger and juicy spring lemon with a touch of grapefruit, it works well in a wide variety of drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belvedere\u2019s distinctive, time-intensive maceration process ensures its Dankowskie Gold rye vodka is imbued with real spices and fruit, reinforcing its 100% natural, no sugar added and non-GMO Polish Rye philosophy. Ginger Zest is created by extracting fragrant oils from pure ginger, spring lemons and grapefruit that have been immersed in Belvedere Vodka. The result is a delicious, smooth liquid of uncompromising quality and character, infused with notes of ginger spice and balanced with zesty citrus.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vodka’s\u00a0<\/span>delicious with a simple splash of tonic and lime or grapefruit juice.<\/p>\n
