Produced in the United Kingdom, this expression represents a flavoured extension of the Au Vodka range, combining a neutral vodka base with a confectionery-style citrus profile. The brand is positioned around visual identity and accessibility, with production focused on consistency and flavour impact rather than raw material character. The base vodka is derived from grain and distilled multiple times to achieve a high level of purity. Column distillation is used to remove unwanted congeners, resulting in a clean and neutral spirit designed to carry added flavour without interference. Filtration further refines the texture, contributing to a smooth and consistent mouthfeel.
Flavour is introduced after distillation through the addition of lemon and berry extracts, formulated to replicate a pink lemonade profile. This approach allows for precise control over sweetness, acidity, and aromatic intensity. The lemon element provides a bright citrus note, while red fruit components add colour and a softer, sweeter dimension. Sugar is added as part of the formulation, shifting the spirit closer to a liqueur-style profile in terms of sweetness and texture. The balance is designed to emphasise drinkability, with reduced ????it sharpness and a rounded finish.
Blending ensures that the citrus and berry components integrate evenly with the vodka base. Water used for dilution is treated to maintain clarity and consistency across batches. The overall style is deliberately bold and flavour-led, with a focus on sweetness and citrus refreshment rather than neutrality or complexity. It is designed primarily for mixed drinks and casual consumption.
