Shady Fruit Vodka
Fruit forward vodka from Shady Fruit, stocked in Commack.
The story behind Shady Fruit
Flavored vodka is neutral spirit infused or blended with fruit, citrus or other natural flavors, and it drinks brighter and softer than a plain unflavored vodka. The citrus styles are the most versatile: grapefruit brings a tart, bitter edge, while orange leans sweeter and rounder. Both work chilled and neat, over ice, or as the base of a tall mixed drink.
We keep Shady Fruit in the vodka section here in Commack, one or two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have.
