🥃 Sobieski Grapefruit
Flavoured vodka from the Sobieski brand with a grapefruit taste, launched in 2023; 35% ABV in the US.
Sobieski Grapefruit is a flavoured vodka from the Sobieski brand with a grapefruit taste. According to the official website, it was launched in 2023 and is the youngest of the flavoured versions. The Daily Pour review gives 35% ABV for the American market; the figure may differ in other markets.
The brand does not disclose the flavourings on its website, where this version is listed among the flavoured vodkas alongside vanilla, raspberry, orange and lemon. In 2023 it won a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and in 2025 a double gold. Medals are the judges' assessment at that competition, not a guarantee of taste for everyone.
Why this matters to you. This is not a classic vodka: the grapefruit flavour is noticeable right away. For cocktails without a fruity note, choose Sobieski Clear Vodka, and to compare citrus variants, look at Sobieski Orange. In the EU a flavoured vodka must be at least 37.5% ABV, so the strength can differ between markets. The WHO reminds us: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
