🍇 Discovering the World of Truly Flavorful Vodka

When it comes to flavored vodkas, the market is buzzing with new entries, and Truly Flavorful Vodka has certainly caught my attention. Inspired by the popular Truly Hard Seltzer line, this vodka promises a fresh twist on familiar flavors. I decided to give it a shot (literally!) and tried two options: Strawberry Lemonade and Pineapple Mango. Here’s what I discovered:

Verdict: Neutral

🍓 Strawberry Lemonade vs. 🍍 Pineapple Mango

• Strawberry Lemonade: This flavor leaned heavily on the sweet side. While enjoyable, it reminded me a bit of New Amsterdam Pink Whitney, which I also found too sugary for my liking. It’s vibrant and bold, but for me, it lacked the subtlety I was hoping for.

• Pineapple Mango: The flavors were delightfully subtle, striking a perfect balance without overwhelming the palate. It’s refreshing and tropical without being cloying, making it my favorite of the two.

Both flavors didn’t feel overly strong, leaving no trace of a hangover the next day.

🔎 The Questions on My Mind

While Truly Flavorful Vodka delivered a great tasting experience, I’m still on the fence. Here’s why:

• Sugar Content: I couldn’t find clear information about how much sugar is in these vodkas. For someone conscious about health, this is an important detail.
• Natural Flavors?: The brand hasn’t clarified whether the flavors are derived from natural sources or artificial ones.

Given the rise of flavored vodka in the market, I’ll keep exploring
