🥃 Grey Goose Essences
The Grey Goose Essences line: vodka with fruit and herb essences in three flavours; 30% ABV according to the producer.
Grey Goose Essences is a range of Grey Goose vodka infused with fruit and herb essences. It has three flavours: Strawberry & Lemongrass, White Peach & Rosemary and Watermelon & Basil. According to the producer, the strength is 30% ABV. The range is newer than the classic flavoured versions L'Orange, Le Citron and La Poire and is designed for long drinks.
Production. The base is French wheat vodka from Grey Goose; the producer speaks of natural ingredients and real fruit and herb essences but does not disclose the technology. The flavours are described as fresh strawberry with aromatic lemongrass, a delicate white peach with a floral hint of rosemary, and ripe watermelon with a note of basil. The brand suggests serving it with soda in a chilled highball with a matching garnish.
Why it matters for you. Essences is a separate range, not a variant of L'Orange or La Poire: it has a different set of flavours and a different strength. Its 30% ABV is below the 37.5% that EU Regulation 2019/787 requires of vodka, so check the exact category name and percentage on the label. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
