Dragon Vanilla Vodka 70cl / 37.5%

Dragon Vanilla Vodka is a vanilla-led flavoured vodka from the Dragon range, bottled at 37.5% ABV in a 70cl bottle. Its calling card is an intense vanilla aroma, rich and warm enough to suggest crème brûlée before the first sip. That makes it a dessert-style vanilla vodka and a ready-made base for creamy cocktails, coffee drinks and simple serves with cola. It suits anyone with a sweet tooth who prefers to add flavour through the spirit rather than through syrups.

What Dragon Vanilla tastes like

• Nose: Intense vanilla and caramel, with a hint of toasted marshmallow.
• Palate: Sweet and soft, with vanilla custard, light toffee and gentle vodka warmth.
• Finish: Lingering vanilla with a warm, rounded sweetness.

How to serve Dragon Vanilla

Serve it over ice in a rocks glass, or lengthen it with cola in a highball. On the dessert side, churros, crème brûlée and chocolate brownies all match its vanilla richness, and a small measure stirred into hot chocolate makes a warming winter drink for adults.

What to mix with Dragon Vanilla

• Dragon Vanilla and cola: 50 ml over ice in a highball, topped with 150 ml cola and a wedge of lime.
• Vanilla Vodka Old Fashioned: stir 50 ml with 5 ml maple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters over ice, then strain over a large cube and add an orange twist.

How it compares

Dragon Lemon Vodka is the citrus sibling, crisper and zestier at the same 37.5%. Cariel Vanilla Vodka from Sweden offers a more delicate, restrained vanilla, while Dragon's is richer and closer to a dessert. J.J. Whitley Vanilla Vodka sits in between, with a peppery edge.

Good to know

The Dragon range also includes a lemon vodka, so the two bottles cover both sweet and zesty cocktails between them. Wodka Company despatches Dragon Vanilla Vodka 70cl across the UK from London.
