Belvedere Organic Infusions Lemon & Basil 750 ml

Belvedere Organic Infusions Lemon & Basil takes Belvedere's rye-based Polish vodka, distilled from single-estate organic rye, and infuses it naturally with lemon peel and basil leaf rather than artificial flavoring. The base spirit is quadruple-distilled and famously filtered without charcoal, which Belvedere leans on to keep the grain character intact under the infusion. The lemon leads on the nose with the basil sitting underneath as a savory, herbal counterpoint rather than a sweet one — closer to a bartender's garnish than a dessert flavor. It's built for cocktails more than neat sipping, aimed at drinkers who want a flavored vodka that reads as fresh herbs rather than candy. A good base for a lighter, more savory martini.

How to drink Belvedere Lemon & Basil

Shake it into a lemon-basil martini or a vodka gimlet where the herbal, citrus infusion can actually lead the drink. It also works well simply topped with soda and a basil leaf for something lighter.
