Product details
Cîroc Apple is a French vodka from Cîroc, distilled from grapes and flavoured with green apple, bottled at 37.5% ABV in a 70cl bottle. Crisp green apple leads, with gentle hints of vanilla and citrus behind it, and the grape base adds a soft texture beneath the fruit. As a French grape vodka with green apple flavour, it is clearly fruity yet dry enough to mix freely. It suits drinkers who like tart orchard flavours and anyone who wants a proper apple vodka for classic sours and martinis. Wodka Company ships Cîroc Apple 70cl across the UK from London.
Cîroc Apple tasting notes
- Nose: Freshly sliced green apple, a hint of lemon peel and soft vanilla.
- Palate: Crisp and juicy, with Granny Smith tartness rounded by light vanilla.
- Finish: Clean, fresh and lightly sweet.
How to drink Cîroc Apple
Serve it chilled over ice, or pour it neat and cold into a small glass. As for what to mix with Cîroc Apple, soda water, cloudy apple juice and ginger ale all keep the fruit crisp. It pairs with roast pork, sharp cheddar, a ploughman's lunch or a warm apple cake, and it suits autumn gatherings and early-evening drinks before Sunday lunch.

How it compares
Against Cîroc Pineapple, Apple is crisper and less tropical, with a tart orchard bite. Cîroc Vodka, the unflavoured version at 40%, shows the grape base on its own, and Apple keeps that soft texture underneath the fruit. Absolut Pears offers a gentler orchard fruit on a Swedish wheat base at 38%.
Good to know
Cîroc is a Diageo brand from France, and its vodka is distilled from grapes rather than grain. At 37.5% ABV, Cîroc Apple is lighter than the 40% original, and a bottle makes a fitting gift for anyone who orders apple martinis when they go out.
Frequently asked questions

Is Cîroc Apple a vodka or an apple liqueur?
