🥃 Skyy Infusions Watermelon
Watermelon version of Skyy: a drink based on Skyy vodka with watermelon flavour; 35% ABV in the US; since 2018.
Skyy Infusions Watermelon is the watermelon version of the Skyy brand from the Skyy Infusions series. It is a vodka-based drink with the taste and aroma of watermelon. According to Beverage Information Group, in May 2018 it became the newest flavour of the series. The US version has 35% ABV, or 70 proof.
The producer describes the drink as light, soft and fruity, with a natural watermelon aroma; a full ingredient list is not published on the website. According to Beverage Information Group, it is slightly sweet and is sold in bottles from 50 ml to 1.75 l. The base is Skyy vodka, distilled four times and filtered.
Why it matters to you. At 35% ABV it is below the EU minimum for flavoured vodka (37.5%), so in Europe such a drink falls into another category. Skyy Vodka is stronger and unflavoured, and Skyy Infusions Pineapple is a tropical alternative. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
