Collection: VODKA

Sippify stocks Australian-made vodka led by 23rd Street Distillery: Classic Vodka (37%), Riverland Rose Vodka and Pomegranate Vodka (both 40%), available in 50ml, 200ml, 700ml and 1L. Vok Vodka is also available in a 1L bottle at 37%.

23rd Street Classic Vodka is a strong contender — made from the finest Australian sugarcane molasses mixed with rainwater, it's smooth, crisp and clean with a beautifully rounded mouthfeel. For something more unusual, 23rd Street Riverland Rose Vodka is a genuine limited-edition talking point, infused with rose petals from Ruston's Roses in the Riverland and named Australian Vodka of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition.

23rd Street Riverland Rose Vodka has a delicate pink blush and aromas that evoke a summer picnic — hedonistic yet fresh, never blousy or overblown. Seductive true rose petal flavours hint at vanilla on the front palate, continuing with a rounded mouthfeel and warm finish. Enjoy it neat and chilled, or lengthen it with a splash of mineral water or tonic.

Vodka distilled from sugarcane, grapes or potatoes contains no gluten grains at all, and even grain-based vodkas are generally considered gluten free because distillation separates out gluten proteins. 23rd Street vodkas are made from Australian sugarcane molasses. If you have coeliac disease we recommend confirming directly with the producer.

Vodka's neutrality is its strength. Classic Vodka works with soda and fresh lime, tonic, cranberry juice or a good ginger beer, and it's the base for a Cosmopolitan, Espresso Martini or Bloody Mary. Flavoured vodkas need less help — Rose Vodka is lovely with soda water and a strawberry, and Pomegranate Vodka is excellent with lemonade or sparkling wine.
