Product details
Ketel One Citroen 70cl is a lemon vodka from the Netherlands, made by infusing Ketel One wheat vodka with natural lemon and lime essences and bottled at 40% ABV. Several varieties of lemon and lime go into the flavour, and the lime gives it a sharper, greener edge than single-lemon vodkas. As a Dutch lemon and lime vodka, it is built for sours, Cosmopolitans and crisp highballs rather than for sweet long drinks. It suits home bartenders who want fresh citrus character without squeezing a bag of fruit. Buy Ketel One Citroen online at Wodka Company and have it delivered to your door anywhere in the UK.
Ketel One Citroen tasting notes
- Nose: Lemon zest and lime peel, lifted by a light floral note.
- Palate: Crisp and tangy, with fresh citrus over a clean, silky wheat base.
- Finish: Dry and lively, with lingering lime and a touch of pepper.
How to drink Ketel One Citroen
Keep it in the freezer for neat sipping from small chilled glasses, or shake it into sours and martinis. The sharp citrus suits fish and seafood: ceviche, grilled prawns, smoked mackerel pâté on toast or a plate of fried calamari. It works well as an aperitif before a summer supper and as the base spirit for a jug of drinks at a garden party.
Ketel One Citroen cocktails
- Cosmopolitan: 40 ml with 15 ml triple sec, 30 ml cranberry juice and 10 ml fresh lime juice, shaken with ice and strained into a chilled coupe with an orange twist.
- Citroen Sour: 50 ml with 25 ml lemon juice and 15 ml sugar syrup, shaken with ice and strained over fresh ice with a lemon wedge.

How it compares
In the comparison of Ketel One Citroen vs Grey Goose Le Citron, the French bottle focuses on fragrant lemon peel, whereas Citroen tastes greener and more sour-edged thanks to the lime. Within its own range, Ketel One Oranje is softer and more floral, so Citroen is the sharper, tangier choice. Stoli Lime goes further still towards pure lime, at a lower 37.5% ABV.
Good to know
Ketel One is a Dutch vodka produced by the Nolet family distillery in Schiedam, the same house that makes the unflavoured Ketel One. The 70cl bottle suits a home bar shelf, and a bottle with a bag of lemons and limes makes a practical gift for a cocktail-minded friend.
Frequently asked questions
What does Ketel One Citroen taste like?
Ketel One Citroen tastes of fresh lemon zest sharpened by lime peel, giving a tangy, slightly green citrus flavour over a silky wheat vodka. The finish is dry, with a touch of pepper carried over from the Ketel One base.
Which citrus fruits are used in Ketel One Citroen?
Ketel One Citroen is flavoured with natural essences from four varieties of lemon and two varieties of lime, blended into Ketel One wheat vodka. Combining several fruits gives a fuller, more layered citrus note than a single type of lemon would.
How do you make a vodka tonic with Ketel One Citroen?
Ketel One Citroen makes a crisp vodka tonic: pour 50 ml over plenty of ice in a highball, top with 150 ml tonic water and squeeze in a wedge of lime. Because the vodka already carries lime, the drink tastes fresher than one made with plain vodka.
