Vodka Fizz
A delightfully creamy and frozen concoction that merges the tart brightness of limeade with the rich texture of half-and-half and vodka. Despite its name, this blended drink offers a dessert-like experience similar to a frozen flip, finished with an aromatic dusting of nutmeg.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by earthy nutmeg and citrus. The palate features a smooth, frothy texture with a balanced blend of tart lime and rich dairy. It finishes quickly with a clean vodka presence and a lingering creamy mouthfeel.
