🥃 Cîroc Red Berry
Berry-flavoured Cîroc vodka, launched in 2010; 35% ABV (70 proof) per Difford's Guide; grape-spirit base.
Cîroc Red Berry is the berry line of flavoured vodkas from the Cîroc brand. It was launched in 2010, and according to Difford's Guide the version it reviewed is bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof). The label says it is a vodka infused with natural wild berries and other fruit flavourings.
According to the official Cîroc website, every Cîroc vodka is made from French grapes and distilled five times, so the base here is grape spirit and the berry taste is added separately. A Difford's Guide taster compared the aroma with raspberry ice cream and called the taste slightly sweet, with a peppery note of alcohol. This is the view of one review.
Why this matters to you. Strength depends on the market, so check the percentage on your bottle: 35% is lower than the classic Cîroc at 40% ABV. Compare it with Cîroc Peach and Cîroc Coconut for sweetness and strength. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
