Vusa Original is an African craft vodka made from premium South African sugarcane in KwaZulu-Natal, triple distilled and filtered only once for a smooth, subtly sweet taste, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Vusa is crafted with African sugarcane, on African soil, in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Its tall, patterned bottle celebrates African design, and the brand's promise is simple: so smooth, the only thing you feel is your spirit awakening.
While most vodkas are made from wheat, potatoes or corn, Vusa is distilled from the finest South African sugarcane. Distilling with sugarcane leaves fewer impurities, and the spirit is triple distilled and filtered only once to keep its natural smoothness and gentle sweetness.
Sugarcane smooth, it offers a clean nose with a hint of sweetness, a soft, rounded palate and a smooth, subtly sweet finish that invites a second sip.
Vusa Original is lovely served ice cold and neat, or over ice with a twist of lime. Its natural sweetness makes it a great base for a Vodka Tonic with cucumber, a Moscow Mule with ginger beer, or a Cosmopolitan with cranberry and fresh lime. Mix it with passion fruit or mango juice for a tropical highball, or stir a smooth Martini with a lemon twist. Pair it with grilled prawns, peri-peri chicken, sushi or a summer salad. The striking bottle makes Vusa a memorable gift and a conversation starter for anyone curious about craft spirits from Africa. For a gathering, chill the bottle well and set it out with fresh limes, tonic, ginger beer and a few tropical juices, so guests can mix their own and taste how a sugarcane base brings a gentle, natural sweetness to every drink.
