Product details
Pod Pea Vodka is a British vodka from Ten Locks, made from fresh peas grown in the UK and bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. Peas are an unusual base for vodka and are chosen with sustainability in mind. They give the spirit a delicately sweet, green character with notes of citrus, quite different from wheat or potato vodkas. It suits curious drinkers, Martini fans and anyone looking for a sustainable British vodka with a story to tell.
Pod Pea Vodka tasting notes
- Nose: Fresh garden peas, cut grass and a little lemon.
- Palate: Delicately sweet and vegetal, with a soft, slightly oily texture and citrus.
- Finish: Fresh and green, ending clean.
How to drink Pod Pea Vodka
Serve it chilled over ice in a rocks glass, or neat in a small glass, to taste the green pea character clearly. It pairs with goat's cheese, asparagus, pea risotto, crab on toast and cucumber salad with soured cream. It works well on spring and summer menus, from a garden lunch to a light seafood supper.
Pod Pea Vodka cocktails
- Garden Tonic: 50 ml over ice in a highball glass, topped with 150 ml light tonic water, a mint sprig and a ribbon of cucumber.
- Pea and Mint Smash: 50 ml Pod, 20 ml lime juice, 10 ml sugar syrup and a few mint leaves, shaken with ice and strained over crushed ice.
- Green Gimlet: 50 ml Pod, 20 ml lime juice, 15 ml sugar syrup and three basil leaves, shaken hard and fine-strained into a chilled coupe.
How it compares
Sapling Climate Positive Vodka shares the green credentials but is a more conventional vodka with lighter citrus. Pod Pea is the more savoury, vegetal option and gives classic cocktails a subtle garden twist. Next to the wheat vodkas from Sipsmith and The Lakes, it is softer and more aromatic.
Good to know
Ten Locks is the company behind Pod vodka. As a vodka made from peas, it makes an unusual present for a keen cook or gardener. Wodka Company can post Pod Pea Vodka 70cl anywhere in the UK from London N15.
Frequently asked questions
What does Pod Pea Vodka taste like?
Pod Pea Vodka tastes delicately sweet and green, with fresh garden peas, cut grass and a little lemon. The texture is soft and slightly oily, so the spirit feels fuller than a typical neutral vodka.
Why make vodka from peas?
Peas are a sustainability-minded base for Pod Pea Vodka. As legumes, pea plants fix nitrogen from the air into the soil, so they generally need less fertiliser than cereal crops such as wheat.
Can you use Pod Pea Vodka in a Martini?
Yes, Pod Pea Vodka gives a Martini a subtle garden note. Stir 50 ml with 10 ml dry vermouth over ice, strain into a chilled glass and garnish with a green olive or a few pea shoots.
