Product details
Belvedere Lemon and Basil 70cl is a Polish flavoured vodka from the Belvedere Organic Infusions range, in which organic lemon, green basil and a hint of elderflower meet rye vodka, listed at 40% ABV. Of the two infusions in our range, it is the brighter, more summery one: citrus arrives first, with a soft herbal and floral background. Like its sibling, this organic lemon and basil vodka has no added sugar, so it stays crisp from start to finish. It was designed around one simple serve, sparkling water over ice, and suits anyone who prefers a dry, fresh glass to a sweet cytrynówka.
Lemon and Basil tasting notes
- Nose: Lemon zest and torn basil leaves, lifted by a light floral note of elderflower.
- Palate: Zesty and green, with clean lemon and peppery basil on a soft rye base.
- Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with citrus peel lingering.
How to drink Belvedere Lemon and Basil
Serve it well chilled, either neat in a small wine glass or long over ice. A squeeze of fresh lemon sharpens the citrus, and a basil leaf on top adds aroma as you lift the glass. It pairs naturally with grilled white fish, prawns, tomato and mozzarella salad or pasta with pesto. Think of it for a summer lunch outdoors or as an aperitif before a light, herb-led dinner.
Mixers and cocktails
The classic Belvedere Lemon and Basil highball is just vodka, sparkling water and ice, and two variations follow it.
- Basil Highball: pour 50 ml over ice in a highball, add 150 ml sparkling water and garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of basil.
- Lemon and Basil Spritz: build 40 ml vodka, 75 ml chilled prosecco and 40 ml soda water over ice in a wine glass, with a long strip of lemon peel.
- Garden Tonic: pour 50 ml over ice, top with 120 ml light tonic water and add a slice of cucumber.
How it compares
Belvedere Organic Infusions Blackberry and Lemongrass brings darker berry fruit and savoury sage, so Lemon and Basil is the lighter and sharper of the pair. Wyborowa Lemon Vodka Liqueur is another citrus option, but it is a juice-based liqueur at 28% with noticeable sweetness, whereas the Belvedere is a dry infused vodka.
Good to know
Like every Belvedere vodka, it comes from Polmos Żyrardów, the distillery behind the brand. The 70cl bottle makes a fresh-looking gift for a summer birthday or a garden party host. When it is back in stock, Wodka Company can send Belvedere Lemon and Basil to any UK address from our shop in London.
