Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka

Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka is a lemon-flavored vodka. The citrus is built into the spirit, so you don't need to squeeze a wedge into every glass. The listing doesn't give a grain base or proof. Flavored vodkas of this kind are usually made from a neutral grain spirit with lemon added, and they tend to taste of lemon peel and juice over a clean, light-bodied base. Check the label for the exact ABV and ingredients. The lemon flavor suits sour-style drinks best. A lemon drop martini is the obvious one: shake the vodka with triple sec and a little fresh lemon juice, strain it into a chilled glass, and you may need less sugar on the rim than usual. The same swap works in a Cosmopolitan, where lemon vodka adds a brighter edge to the cranberry and lime. In a Moscow Mule, lemon and ginger beer work well together, and a lime wedge on top keeps the drink from tasting like lemonade. For a simpler highball, vodka with soda water and ice takes very little else. Not every classic suits a flavored bottle. In a Bloody Mary, the lemon note blends into the tomato, horseradish and pepper, but it's a subtle change, and some people would still rather use a plain vodka there. An Espresso Martini and a dry Martini both depend on a neutral spirit, and lemon will stand out in each. If you want to try it in a Martini, use a lemon twist and no olive. To drink it neat, keep the bottle in the freezer and pour it very cold. A small chilled martini glass or a rocks glass over one large cube both work. Cold slows the lemon aroma, so it stays gentle on the nose. Light seafood, oysters, or a salty, fried dish are good matches. Pairing it with dessert, such as shortbread or a simple cheesecake, takes advantage of the citrus.
