Product details
Skyy Citrus Vodka 70cl is an American citrus vodka from Skyy, made by infusing the brand's column-distilled grain vodka with tart lemon flavour and bottled at 40% ABV. The lemon character is juicy and sharp rather than perfumed, adding a fresh, tangy note to the clean Skyy base. Unlike the 37.5% fruit vodkas in the range, it keeps the full strength of the unflavoured bottle. This American lemon-flavoured vodka suits anyone who mixes sours, Collins-style drinks and lemonade highballs. Wodka Company posts Skyy Citrus Vodka to homes and offices across the UK.
Skyy Citrus tasting notes
- Nose: Tart lemon juice and freshly cut peel.
- Palate: Clean and zesty, with juicy citrus over a light, neutral grain spirit.
- Finish: Crisp and fairly short, with a tangy lemon echo.
Sweetness is low, so the lemon reads as sharp and refreshing rather than sugary.
How to serve Skyy Citrus
Chill the bottle and pour it over ice, or use it in any recipe that calls for a squeeze of lemon. Salty, crisp food is the best partner: fish tacos, salt-and-pepper squid, fish and chips or a summer salad with feta. It is a reliable pick for a barbecue, a picnic jug or a quick drink after work on a warm day.

Frequently asked questions
Is Skyy Citrus lemon or orange flavoured?
Skyy Citrus Vodka is lemon flavoured, infused with tart, juicy lemon rather than orange or mixed citrus. That keeps it sharp and tangy, closer to fresh lemon juice than to the perfumed peel of some other citrus vodkas.
Can I use Skyy Citrus in a Cosmopolitan?
Yes, Skyy Citrus works well in a Cosmopolitan, since the classic recipe calls for a citrus-flavoured vodka. Combine it with orange liqueur, cranberry juice and fresh lime, shake hard over ice and strain into a chilled coupe.
What is the difference between Skyy Citrus and Skyy Premium?
Skyy Citrus is the plain Skyy Premium Pure Plain Vodka with tart lemon flavour added, and both share the same 40% ABV. Choose Skyy Premium for neutral serves such as a martini, and Skyy Citrus when a drink already uses lemon or needs a citrus lift.
