Three Olives Vodka


Three Olives Vodka is a brand of vodka produced and distilled in the United Kingdom and imported to the United States by Proximo Spirits[1]. Distilled four times, Three Olives is gluten free, nut free and lactose free.[2] Though produced and distilled in the United Kingdom, it is unavailable commercially in the country.

Three Olives is one of the vodka brands that makes a superior premium clear vodka and backs it up with many outstanding flavors. The vodkas are handcrafted in small batches in England from fine English wheat. This vodka line is matched in quality, availability and flavors by only a few other companies and many of their infused vodkas stretch the limits of what we consider the "clear, flavorless spirit" but do so in an austere, yet innovative, fashion.

Three Olives Root Beer Vodka

First of all it is great well chilled and on the rocks - a sort of non-carbonated root beer with alcohol. Then there is the ability to create a vodka and cola that has the flavor of root beer or combining it with vanilla vodka and ginger ale to create your own root beer - both of which essentially create an adult root beer that tastes better than the average commercial root beer. Finally, a spiked, uncarbonated, short root beer float, need I say more? If you like root beer and vodka on their own and want the taste of root beer without the soda aspect this vodka is perfect.


Three Olives Triple Shot Espresso

Espresso is one of the hot new flavors of vodka and Three Olives has released a Triple Shot Espresso which is rich and has a great roasted bean flavor to it. There are three shots of Italian espresso inside each bottle and if you're looking for an delectable coffee-flavored martini this is a tasty and easy way to get one. The vodka is rather thick, but that's to be expected when working with espresso and with a few ice cubes it makes a great after dinner sipper. When mixing this espresso into cocktails I highly recommend putting it against citrus or tropical flavors that balance its darkness. The drinks below are great examples, one with orange and the other with amaretto and coconut.
