Vodka Pineapple Flavor

For those who prefer on the rocks or making a cocktail

In this review, I am reviewing the Smirnoff Pineapple Vodka and Ciroc Pineapple Vodka

Smirnoff Pineapple Vodka

• Price:14.99 to 17.99 for 1 liter at most liquor stores.
• Smirnoff Site says: Smirnoff Pineapple is infused with a natural pineapple flavor for a tropical taste of the islands. Pairs best with soda water, lemonade, or pineapple juice. Smirnoff Pineapple is Kosher Certified and gluten free.

DesiReview:

• Verdict:Thumbs Down
• The vodka lacked smoothness, and its taste was sour, accompanied by a metallic aftertaste. The fragrance of pineapple was overpowering. I'm typically not a fan of Smirnoff; I often perceive their products as overhyped. However, I still give them a try whenever I encounter their bottles at parties and get-togethers.

Ciroc Pineapple Vodka

• Price:27.99 to 32.99 at most liquor stores
• Ciroc site says:PINEAPPLE CÎROC™ Pineapple is the fifth and most anticipated flavor-infused varietal from the makers of CÎROC™ Ultra-Premium Vodka. Distilled five times to ensure high quality, the spirit is masterfully infused with a distinctive blend of pineapple and other natural flavors, resulting in a taste experience that is lusciously different and elegantly smooth. The versatility of this flavor allows for a great range of cocktail creativity, whether mixed with lemon-lime soda, orange juice, or pineapple juice.

DesiReview:

• I came across this bottle at my liquor store while on the lookout for Malibu Coconut Rum. Instead, I noticed a small shooter bottle of Ciroc Vodka on the counter, available in different flavors. The store owner informed me that the vodka is quite popular. Considering it was only $1.49 for the bottle, I decided to give it a try.
• The vodka turned out to be incredibly smooth and silky. There was no sour taste, just a perfect balance between pineapple and vodka. The pineapple fragrance was pleasant without being overpowering, and the aftertaste was also enjoyable. There were no burns in the mouth or throat. It's definitely worth a try; I even experimented with the suggested simple mixes from the website, and they all turned out great.
• Verdict:Thumbs Up
