The result of our labor-intensive process is the purest spirit on the market. That same care is what separates a true premium craft vodka from the artificially flavored bottles lining most shelves.

We never add sugars, dyes, syrups, or artificial ingredients. All of our products are also gluten free. Join the infuse society. Get invites to cool events.

Key Takeaways

  • Infuse Vodka is built on real, hand-picked fruit, spice, and herbal ingredients — never artificial flavoring.
  • The brand adds no sugars, dyes, syrups, or artificial ingredients, and every product is gluten free.
  • The color, aroma, and flavor in each bottle come directly from the infusion itself, which is why you can often see the actual fruit resting inside.
  • The lineup spans fruit-forward pours (Lemon, Peach, Mango, Cinnamon Apple), savory and spicy expressions (Chili Pepper), and aromatic, spice-driven bottles (Orange Clove).
  • Each expression has earned independent recognition, from Double Gold and Best-In-Show to Gold Medals and high scores from tasting panels and reviewers.
  • The range is versatile: several bottles work beautifully as a straight sip, while others are purpose-built for cocktails like the Bloody Mary or a bracing martini.

What “Infused” Really Means

The word “infused” gets used loosely in the spirits world, so it’s worth being precise about what it means here. An infused vodka is made by steeping real ingredients — fruit, spices, herbs, botanicals — in the spirit so that their flavor, color, and aroma transfer into the liquid. Nothing is painted on afterward with a flavor concentrate. The character of the bottle is drawn out of the ingredient itself.

That distinction is the whole point of Infuse Vodka. Where many flavored spirits rely on artificial compounds to hit a consistent, candy-like note, an infusion lets the ingredient lead. A real lemon peel tastes like a real lemon peel — waxy, bright, faintly bitter — and that complexity is exactly what ends up in the glass.

It also explains the visuals. When you uncork a bottle and see apple slices, mango segments, or thin ribbons of lemon peel floating inside, you’re looking at the source of the flavor. The infusion is not a marketing story layered on top of the product; it is the product.

The Craft Process Behind Every Bottle

Infusion is patient work. It’s labor-intensive by nature, and that’s a feature rather than a bug — shortcuts are what produce thin, one-dimensional flavored spirits. The process behind Infuse Vodka is built around a few core commitments:

  • Real ingredients, hand-picked. Fruit, spices, and herbs are selected for quality and character, not for how cheaply they can be sourced.
  • A corn base. The vodka itself is distilled from a corn base, which contributes a subtly sweet, rounded backbone that supports the infusions rather than fighting them.
  • No additives. No sugars, dyes, syrups, or artificial ingredients are introduced at any stage. If a bottle has color, that color came from the ingredient.
  • Gluten free across the board. Every product in the range is gluten free.
  • Ultra-premium American distillation. The spirit is an American-distilled vodka held to an ultra-premium standard.

The result, as the brand puts it, is the purest spirit on the market — a vodka where the infusion reads as clean and true rather than synthetic.

The Infuse Vodka Lineup, Bottle by Bottle

Each expression has its own personality, its own color, and its own best use. Here’s how they break down.

Cinnamon Apple Infuse Vodka

This is the bottle that put the brand on the map. It earned “Double Gold & Best-In-Show ‘Flavored’ Vodka 2014” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Christopher Null of Drinkhacker.com described it as “a whiskey-brown spirit with numerous apple slices floating at the top of the bottle. The nose is pure apple, with touches of cinnamon, just like grandma used to bake. Smooth as silk on the body — the vodka is really only evident on the finish, as the sweet, dessert-like character of the product takes center stage… a fun change of pace to be sure.” He ranked it an (A).

If you like the idea of a dessert-leaning pour that still drinks like a spirit, this is the place to start.

Orange Clove Infuse Vodka

A beautiful gold color sets this one apart immediately. The nose reads as orange marmalade and clove — bold, juicy fruit layered over subtle clove and anise. On the palate, fruit dominates as bitter orange peel comes barreling straight through, finishing quite spicy with cayenne and clove.

It received 93 Points from Tasting Panel Magazine. Notably, dosed with simple syrup, it might be mistaken for an orange liqueur — which makes it a fascinating substitute in cocktails that call for orange accents.

Chili Pepper Infuse Vodka

Perfectly paired with a Bloody Mary, this expression delivers a unique spiciness created by the chili pepper infusion — explicitly not to be mistaken for other pepper or chipotle vodkas.

The Beverage Testing Institute described it as “faint silvery straw gold color. Faint aromas of dried chili peppers and hot spiced nuts with a supple, hot and tangy light-to-medium body and interesting hint of figs and dates amongst the various pepper jelly notes. Fun.” It received 87 Points from the Beverage Testing Institute.

Lemon Infuse Vodka

A Gold Medal winner at the New York International Spirits Competition, this is arguably the most visually striking bottle in the range. Thin ribbons of lemon peel are visible inside, twisting and turning in a seemingly flawless craft vodka — a direct statement of the brand’s natural-infusion ethos.

The vodka has a pale yellow hue and a bright candied-lemon peel scent. The liquid feels silky and viscous on the tongue and evokes waxy lemon peel flavors. Well-chilled, this is a bracing martini option.

Peach Infuse Vodka

A wave of fresh peaches caresses your nostrils the moment you uncork the bottle. There’s no fake peach flavoring here — you’ll see the fruit segments bobbing in the bottle, and you’ll detect it in the pleasantly sweet, true-peach scent.

Perhaps because the vodka is made from a corn base, the bright tawny liquid is reminiscent of peach-flavored Bourbon: it has a boozy presence and a long finish that hints at vanilla and bruised peaches.

Mango Infuse Vodka

Christopher Null of Drinkhacker.com called this “a super-fresh and authentically tropical nose… a moderately pale yellow spirit with three slices of mango in the bottom of the bottle. It’s so fragrant it’s hard to stop smelling it. Fortunately the body doesn’t disappoint. The fruit and punchy alcohol notes are in balance, the vodka offering silky mango sweetness with a dusting of bite to back it up. This is nice enough on its own but would be gorgeous in any cocktail.”

Infuse Origin Vodka

The unflavored expression — and the foundation of everything else. The nose is fresh and inviting, braced with sweeter notes and hinting at light caramel and vanilla essences.

The body is racy, alive with punchy astringency but rounded and balanced. Some mild sweetness, along with a mellow walnut character, arrives later on. The finish has just the appropriate amount of edge — a shining, sparkling spirit that any vodka fan will find just as perfect as a straight sip or as the pillar of a great cocktail.

How to Drink Them: Straight, Chilled, or Mixed

One of the pleasures of a real infusion is that it works on multiple levels. Here’s a practical way to think about serving each style.

For sipping neat or on the rocks:

  • Origin is the natural starting point — clean, balanced, with enough character to reward slow sipping.
  • Cinnamon Apple and Peach shine as dessert-adjacent pours, especially slightly chilled.
  • Mango is fragrant enough to drink on its own, as the Drinkhacker review notes.

For chilling and martinis:

  • Lemon is the standout. Well-chilled, it makes a bracing martini with real citrus depth instead of a flat, artificial lemon note.
  • Origin also works as a crisp, classic martini base.

For cocktails:

  • Chili Pepper is purpose-built for a Bloody Mary, where its heat and savory depth do the heavy lifting.
  • Orange Clove can stand in for orange liqueur in a range of mixed drinks, especially when you want a spicier, more aromatic accent.
  • Mango and Peach bring tropical and orchard fruit character to punches, spritzes, and long drinks.

A general rule: because these vodkas carry genuine flavor, you often need less added sugar or syrup than you would with a neutral spirit. Let the infusion do the work.

Why Real Ingredients Matter

It’s easy to treat “natural” as a buzzword. In spirits, it’s a technical distinction with real consequences in the glass.

Artificial flavoring is engineered to deliver one clear, recognizable note — and it does that reliably. What it can’t do is deliver the layered, evolving character of a real ingredient. A real chili brings heat, yes, but also vegetal depth, a hint of sweetness, and a finish that lingers. A real lemon peel brings brightness alongside a waxy, faintly bitter edge. A real peach brings sweetness plus the bruised, vanilla-tinged complexity that makes fruit taste like fruit.

That’s why the reviews of these bottles keep returning to the same themes: authenticity, balance, and a finish that keeps unfolding. It’s also why the brand can make the claims it does — no sugars, no dyes, no syrups, no artificial ingredients, and gluten free across the entire range. Those aren’t marketing flourishes; they’re the natural outcome of an infusion made from real things.
