Roberto Cavalli Vodka (70cl)

Crisp and confident, this Italian vodka is the kind of bottle you reach for when you want your cocktail to taste sharp, clean, and dialled in, not flat. It’s built for mixing, but it still has personality, think bright citrus, a little white pepper, and a fresh, mineral finish that keeps you coming back.

The big win here is balance. You get a clear, neutral base that plays nice with everything, plus a subtle edge that lifts simple drinks like a Vodka Soda and makes classics like a Martini feel a bit more “put together” without turning it into homework.

• Nose: Lemon peel, clean grain, a light floral hint, and a touch of white pepper.
• Taste: Crisp citrus, gentle sweetness, soft spice, and a cool, clean mouthfeel that stays focused in mixed drinks.
• Finish: Dry, lightly peppery, and mineral, with a quick citrus flick that keeps it refreshing.

In cocktails, it’s a workhorse. It won’t fight your ingredients, it’ll back them up. Think Espresso Martini (lets the coffee pop), Vodka Mule (keeps the ginger punchy), or a Bloody Mary where you want savoury spice to lead, not a heavy spirit taste.

What makes it stand out is the Italian vibe through and through, distilled from Italian grain and finished to stay clean and precise. That means you get clarity in your drinks, less muddle, more snap, and a vodka that doesn’t disappear the second you add ice and soda.

If you’re building a home bar, this one earns its shelf space as your “default vodka” for guests. Easy to like, hard to mess up, and it makes even basic mixes taste more intentional.

Fun Fact: Roberto Cavalli is a famous Italian fashion house, and the vodka keeps that runway energy with a statement bottle designed to look as bold as it pours.
