Old Dominick Honeybell Citrus Vodka is a citrus-flavoured vodka from Old Dominick Distillery in Memphis, Tennessee, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It captures the Honeybell orange, a rare hybrid of sweet tangerine and bitter grapefruit with a flavour like nothing else on earth.
It holds both the sweetness of the fruit's luscious juice and the bright bitterness of its deep orange zest, from a harvest that lasts just four weeks.
The nose opens with sweet orange and ginger trailing into soft spice; warm orange dominates the palate before fading to bitter orange rind and earthy, herbal lavender, with a fruit-forward finish of grapefruit nectar.
It is 100% natural and one hundred percent pure Memphis, from a family-owned house whose roots go back to 1866.

How to Enjoy It
Honeybell Citrus Vodka brightens any citrus cocktail: try it in a Screwdriver with fresh orange juice, a Cosmopolitan, a Lemon Drop or a Greyhound with grapefruit juice. Mix it with soda water and an orange wheel for an easy highball, or with sparkling wine and a splash of orange liqueur for a citrus spritz. Chill it and sip it neat to taste the lavender and spice. Pair it with grilled shrimp, citrus salads, smoked salmon and lemon tart. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
