Vodka

Tall Dark and Bubbly

Bone-dry fruit refreshment in a tall, effervescent serve.

Blackcurrant with earthy fruit intensityCrisp vodka neutrality and faint citrus brightnessDry, mineral-driven with subtle fruity echoes

This tall highball showcases vodka's crisp, neutral core against an earthy backdrop of blackcurrant juice and sparkling water. A touch of orange bitters adds depth without adding sweetness, creating a layered yet refreshingly dry fruit-forward profile. The result is clean, minimal, and boldly unexpected.
