When we think of vodka, most of us think of that clean-cut drink known for its more subtle flavors. Precisely what those depend on if the vodka has a wheat, rye, corn, or potato base.
But over the years, a lovely array of flavored vodkas have begun to hit the market. These vodkas take the original taste and pair it with something else to give the old classic a fun and exciting twist.
Today’s topic is caramel vodka, and some exciting varieties are out there. So let’s look and see how you can dress up your next drink.
Effen Salted Caramel Vodka
Effen Salted Caramel Vodka has a spicy taste with a faint splash of caramel-tasting notes, making this one a subtle addition to the club of caramel vodkas. It's not too sweet or salty, so it is a fine addition to any cocktail. Effen is a vodka maker of many other delicious flavors, not limiting themselves to just caramel.
